Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on the character and appearance of the site and the surrounding area with particular regard to the protected trees

What decided it

The adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance through pressure on protected trees would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of delivering one dwelling when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.

The moderate and meaningful benefit of contributing to housing supply was outweighed by significant harm to character and appearance through anticipated pressure on protected trees, such that the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits under paragraph 11d)ii of the Framework.
