Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on designated heritage assets, including the Wareham Conservation Area and the Wareham Town Walls, a Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM)
- The effect of the proposal on archaeological remains associated with Wareham Town Walls SAM
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of no 27 St Martin's Lane, with particular regard to outlook
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the Wareham Town Walls Scheduled Ancient Monument and Wareham Conservation Area, combined with harm to neighbouring living conditions, outweighed the benefits of housing delivery where the Council could demonstrate five years of housing land supply.
the harm to designated heritage assets and neighbouring living conditions outweighed the benefits of housing delivery and contribution to supply and choice
