Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area, which includes the Grange over Sands Conservation Area
- The effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of occupiers of the host property Pine Trees, with particular regard to outdoor amenity space
- Whether the proposal delivers biodiversity net gain and suitable replacement tree planting
What decided it
The proposal would preserve the character and appearance of the conservation area and retain acceptable living conditions for the host property, with replacement tree planting and habitat measures providing sufficient mitigation despite the absence of a quantified biodiversity net gain assessment.
