Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Chingford Station Road Conservation Area, including but not limited to trees
- the effect of the development on highway safety
- if there is any harm under the main issues, whether such harm is outweighed by the personal circumstances put forward by the appellant
What decided it
The unacceptable effect of the development on the character and appearance of the conservation area through the use of contrasting materials on the front boundary wall and outbuilding, combined with the failure to demonstrate that protected street trees had not been damaged, could not be outweighed by the appellant's personal circumstances.
