Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the Howard Park Conservation Area, with particular regard to the siting, scale and design of the proposed dwelling and the effect on trees
  • whether the proposed development would provide appropriate living conditions for future occupiers, with regard to shading and leaf fall

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the conservation area from loss of mature trees, weighed against the limited public benefits of a single dwelling, meant the proposal failed to accord with the development plan and Framework requirements to conserve heritage assets.

the less than substantial harm to the conservation area from loss of trees did not outweigh the modest public benefits of housing delivery, bungalow provision and self-build status, and the balance tipped against the proposal
