Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Monken Hadley Conservation Area (MHCA) and its effect on the woodland TPO that covers the site
- Whether the proposal would have a harmful impact on a priority habitat or protected species
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the Monken Hadley Conservation Area through loss and thinning of the woodland, combined with the failure to demonstrate that the proposal would not have a harmful effect on the priority habitat, could not be outweighed by the modest public benefits of delivering a single dwelling.
