Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including in respect of an adjacent street tree

What decided it

The proposed crossover would be so close to the street tree that it would likely prevent its successful replacement, jeopardising the tree's positive contribution to the character and appearance of the area.
