Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area with regard to protected trees on the site
- the effect of the proposal on fire safety
What decided it
The proposed removal of the protected cherry tree T4 would result in moderate harm to the character and appearance of the area that cannot be adequately mitigated and is not sufficiently justified, conflicting with development plan policies requiring retention of existing trees.
Plan policies cited: Policy G7 of The London Plan, Policy DM10 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018), Policy DM28 of the Croydon Local Plan (2018), London Plan Policy D12
