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 sites location within the Hamble Conservation Area
- whether the proposed development would have an adverse effect on protected species
What decided it
The proposed extension would result in significant harm to the character and appearance of the Hamble Conservation Area as a designated heritage asset, with no public benefits to outweigh that harm, and the absence of survey evidence to demonstrate compliance with protected species requirements.
