Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the development on a protected tree
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 59 Rolleston Road and No 63 Rolleston Road with particular regard to outlook and light
What decided it
The cumulative harm to character and appearance, failure to adequately protect a protected tree, and adverse overbearing impact on neighbouring living conditions could not be outweighed by the limited benefits of a single replacement dwelling.
