Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to its effect on trees
What decided it
The unnecessary harm to protected trees with high amenity value and the adverse effects on local character, which the Inspector found would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery even under the tilted balance.
The substantial weight given to the delivery of four family-sized homes and the moderate positive weight of economic and environmental benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the substantial and overriding weight ascribed to the adverse effects on local character caused through unnecessary harm to protected trees with high amenity value.
