Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on renewable energy provision
- whether a replacement tree could be accommodated within the plot without affecting its long-term growth
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- the living conditions of future occupiers, with particular reference to private amenity space
What decided it
The proposal would provide inadequate private amenity space for future occupiers, with a maximum rear garden depth of 9-9.5m against the required minimum of 11.5m, and would appear overdeveloped and out of character with the surrounding area.

- Policy UD5Policy GI8Policy H13Policy UD1Policy H7
