Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the design of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area with particular regard to trees
  • the effect of the proposal on protected species
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring residents with particular regard to privacy

What decided it

The proposal would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area through pressure to fell or prune protected trees due to the building's proximity and layout, combined with the absence of adequate ecological survey evidence regarding protected bat species.
