Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on trees
- the effect of the proposed development on ecology, included protected species
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including whether the proposal would conserve and enhance the landscape, scenic and natural beauty of the High Weald National Landscape
What decided it
The absence of substantive evidence, including a Tree Survey, Arboricultural Impact Assessment, and preliminary ecological appraisal, meant the appellant failed to demonstrate that the proposal would not adversely affect trees and protected species at the site.
