- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area with particular regard to the trees subject of a provisional Tree Protection Order (TPO)
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area through backland development creating undersized plots departing from the prevailing linear and spacious pattern, combined with unmitigated risks to protected trees during construction, outweighed the limited benefits of additional housing supply.
