Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the setting of the Tudor and Golf Links Road Conservation Area
- the amenity of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to outlook and natural light
- the integrity of Poole Harbour and the Dorset Heathlands
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and its setting, combined with harm to neighbouring amenity, would substantially and demonstrably outweigh the modest benefits of one additional dwelling and restaurant expansion.
the adverse impacts of harm to character and appearance, the setting of the conservation area and local amenity would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of one additional dwelling and modest economic benefits, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply
