Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect the proposed development would have on the character and appearance of the site, surrounding area and street scene within the Alderley Edge Conservation Area
- The effect on a group of protected lime trees
What decided it
The proposed replacement dwelling would preserve the character and appearance of the Alderley Edge Conservation Area and would not cause unacceptable harm to the protected trees, subject to conditions securing appropriate earthworks details and tree protection measures.
The modest material planning benefit of one new self-build dwelling to the local housing stock, combined with compliance with the development plan and preservation of the conservation area character, outweighed the concerns raised by the Parish Council and local residents.
