Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Highlands Conservation Area (the CA), including the effect on trees
  • highway safety
  • surface water drainage

What decided it

The harm to the character and appearance of the Highlands Conservation Area, assessed as less than substantial but nonetheless significant, was not outweighed by the public benefits of the electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
