Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on arboricultural interests
  • the effect of the proposal on on-street parking and the highways network
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The unacceptable harm to the protected Common Lime tree's root protection area, combined with the failure to provide adequate mitigation for the loss of on-street parking, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan and material considerations did not indicate a decision should be taken otherwise.
