Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of Branksome Park Conservation Area, including protected trees
What decided it
The development would fail to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area and the positive contribution made by protected trees, and the resulting less-than-substantial harm could not be outweighed by the limited public benefits of providing a single dwelling.
The less-than-substantial harm to the significance of the Conservation Area, which attracts considerable importance and weight, outweighed the significant weight given to housing delivery in the context of a 5-year housing land supply shortfall, because the social and economic benefits of a single dwelling were very limited.
