Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with specific regard to protected trees
  • whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants, with particular regard to daylight

What decided it

The tangible risk that occupation of the proposed dwelling would result in future pressure to extensively prune or remove the protected trees, combined with inadequate daylight to Bedroom 2, would significantly harm character and appearance and fail to provide acceptable living conditions.
