Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
Whether the health and landscape value of trees subject to a Tree Preservation Order would be unduly threatened

What decided it

The proposal would not harm the character and appearance of the area and would not unduly threaten the health and landscape value of the protected trees, given the adequate total amenity space provided for the occupants of no.19 Riverside Close.

The benefits of housing delivery and temporary employment during construction, combined with accordance with the adopted development plan, outweighed any concerns and justified the grant of planning permission.
