Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of coastal change on the proposed dwelling
What decided it
The proposed dwelling would not be safe over its planned lifetime due to coastal erosion risk and would be in an inappropriate location contrary to Policy DM6 and the NPPF.
The benefits of an additional dwelling in an accessible location and potential biodiversity gains were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the unacceptable risk of coastal erosion to the proposed dwelling over its lifetime.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM6 of the New Forest District (outside the National Park) Local Plan Part 2Policy CS5 of the Core Strategy
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 168
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
