Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposed development upon nearby trees
  • The effect of the proposed development upon the living conditions of the occupiers of No.74 St. Winifreds Road with regard to overlooking
  • Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG)

What decided it

The proposed development would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area through its unduly large, bulky and obtrusive form, combined with pressure on a protected tree and failure to secure self-build status for BNG exemption purposes.
