Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect the proposed development, including the removal of the protected tree, would have on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area within the Dawlish Conservation Area
- Any public benefit that would arise from the development, in particular regarding access and highway safety
What decided it
The removal of the protected conifer tree, which makes a strong positive contribution to the character of the conservation area and is in good health, causes significant harm that substantially outweighs the highway safety and access benefits of the scheme.
