Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the health and longevity of protected trees
  • Whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupants, with particular regard to noise and disturbance, air quality, and private outdoor amenity space

What decided it

The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to character and appearance through loss of protected trees and would fail to provide adequate living conditions due to noise constraints requiring closed windows and insufficient private amenity space, conflicting with the development plan.
