Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the appeal scheme on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the appeal scheme on the living conditions of future occupiers of the development, having regard to noise disturbance impacts
  • The effect of the appeal scheme on the integrity of the Solent and New Forest EPS

What decided it

The significant harm to character and appearance combined with unmitigated noise impacts on future occupiers outweighed the modest benefits of providing specialist wheelchair-accessible housing.
