Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including trees
- the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of future occupiers with regards to outlook, daylight and privacy
- whether the proposal would provide satisfactory parking arrangements and promote the use of sustainable transport
- whether there are appropriate measures for waste disposal
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area through the scale and design of the building combined with the risk to the long-term health of protected trees, together with inadequate living conditions for future occupiers and unsatisfactory parking and waste arrangements, outweighed the benefits of providing additional housing.
