Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- effect of the proposal on trees on and surrounding the appeal site
- biodiversity net gain and protected species
- character and appearance of the surrounding area, with particular regard to the setting of the nearby 44 Church Lane (No. 44) which is a non-designated heritage asset, and the setting of the Cheveley Conservation Area
- living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers of No. 44, with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The failure to demonstrate that the proposal would not cause harm to trees T23 and T30 and the absence of substantive evidence regarding protected species, contrary to Policies ENV 1 and ENV 7 of the Local Plan and the statutory duty to have regard to biodiversity conservation.
