The key issues were the impact of removing one cherry tree and lopping nearby trees, and whether the new building would harm public amenity or nearby residents.
Environment Policy 3
The policy states 'Development will not be permitted where it would result in the unacceptable loss of or damage to woodland areas, especially ancient, natural and semi-natural woodlands, which have public amenity or conservation value.' The officer assessed the loss of one cherry tree and lopping of nearby trees; DEFA Forestry had no objection, noting pruning could occur without licence anyway, and positioning close to trees minimises visual impact, making the tree works acceptable.
Time limit
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with article 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
no highway implications
would not object to the loss of the cherry tree nor the pruning of the lower parts of the trees close by but would encourage the pruning to be as little as possible
