Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character of the street scene and the significance of the Meyrick Park/Talbot Woods Conservation Area, together with the existing protected trees on site
- the effect of the development on the integrity and ecological value of the designated Dorset Heathlands SPA, Ramsar Site and Dorset Heaths SAC
What decided it
The proposal would fail to preserve the significance and character of the Conservation Area by introducing a cramped dwelling that would erode the spacious and verdant character typical of the area, and this harm to a designated heritage asset provides a clear reason for refusal under paragraph 11(d) of the NPPF that outweighs the housing benefits.
the benefits of housing delivery and efficient use of the site were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the identified less than substantial harm to the Conservation Area, to which considerable importance and weight must be attached
