Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would make adequate provision for the retention of existing trees and delivery of appropriate landscaping
- whether the proposed development would include suitable provision for surface water drainage
- whether the scale, appearance and layout of the proposed development would be acceptable, having regard to the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of both future occupiers and neighbouring residents
- whether the proposed access, parking, and internal layout would be acceptable in terms of highway safety and functionality
What decided it
The failure to demonstrate adequate tree retention prioritised in the design process and the absence of substantive evidence for a sustainable surface water drainage solution, both conflicting with the development plan, led to dismissal.
