Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of the Tranmere Park Conservation Area and protected trees
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties
  • ecology and nature conservation

What decided it

The moderate harm to the conservation area's significance, combined with harm to protected trees, living conditions of neighbours, and ecology, substantially outweighed the limited public benefits of the proposal.

The moderate harm to the conservation area's significance, harm to protected trees, harm to living conditions of neighbours, and harm to ecology and nature conservation were weighed against the limited public benefits of protecting neighbouring properties and associated structures; the harms were not overcome by the benefits.
