Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Uppermill Conservation Area, with particular regard to trees
What decided it
The removal of the mature Cherry Laurel tree to facilitate the development caused notable harm to the character and appearance of the Uppermill Conservation Area which could not be adequately mitigated by the proposed replacement planting or financial contribution.
