Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Sydling St Nicolas Conservation Area including the effect of the removal of a Cherry tree protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) and the setting of 13 High Street, a Grade II listed building
What decided it
The removal of the protected Cherry tree combined with the creation of the access opening would cause less than substantial but nevertheless considerable harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area that cannot be outweighed by the limited public benefits of the scheme.
