Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including its effect on trees
- whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook, light and external amenity space
- the effect on biodiversity
- whether the proposal would include adequate surface water drainage
What decided it
The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the area and fail to provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers of Unit B, particularly due to the relationship between the dwelling and mature trees causing shading and safety concerns.
