Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development adheres to the Authority's strategy for the extension of existing dwellings within the New Forest National Park, in the context of adopted policy

What decided it
The material consideration of the approved fallback position (the detached garden room permission) having a similar effect to the appeal development outweighed the conflict with Policy DP36.
the conflict with Policy DP36 and NPPF paragraph 172 was outweighed by the material consideration of the fallback position, which would have a similar landscape impact

- Development plan policies
- Policy DP36
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 12Paragraph 172
