Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties in respect of outlook, privacy and noise disturbance
- Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers in respect of outlook, light and privacy
- The effect of the proposal on the integrity of the Dorset Heathlands
What decided it
The significant and harmful impacts on living conditions of both neighbouring occupiers and future occupiers, which conflict with development plan policies on design and amenity, outweigh the modest benefits of housing supply in the context of a shortfall.
The benefits of housing supply and efficient use of land were afforded modest weight, but were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the substantial conflict with development plan policies on living conditions and the Framework requirement for good design and high standards of amenity.
