Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal upon the character or appearance of St John's Wood Conservation Area, with particular regard to the loss of trees, the protection of retained trees, and proposed replacement trees
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of St John's Wood Conservation Area through the loss of the mature cypress tree (T15) was not outweighed by the modest public benefits of the scheme, and the proposal conflicted with development plan policies protecting trees and the conservation area.
