Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties with particular regard to overshadowing, light, privacy, overlooking, overbearing and outlook
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of future occupiers with particular regard to outlook and light
- whether appropriate replacement tree planting, to compensate for the loss of a TPO tree, can be achieved
What decided it
The development fails on multiple grounds: harmful effect on character and appearance through excessive scale and lack of visual hierarchy; unacceptable overbearing impact on neighbouring residential amenity; poor internal living conditions for future occupiers due to lack of light and outlook; and insufficient evidence that replacement tree planting can be adequately achieved.
