Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the loss of protected trees
- the integrity of Poole Harbour and the Dorset Heathlands
What decided it
The cumulative loss of protected trees, particularly the two tall Liquidambars visible from the road, would significantly harm the verdant character and appearance of the area in a way that the modest housing benefit of two additional dwellings could not overcome.
the adverse impacts of the development in terms of harm to the character and appearance of the area would significantly and demonstrably outweigh its benefits when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole
Framework references: 11, 130, 131, 219
