Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the appeal scheme on the character and appearance of the Talbot Woods and Meyrick Park Conservation Area (the TWMPCA)
- The effect of appeal scheme on the integrity of the Dorset Heathlands SPA, Ramsar Site and Dorset Heaths SAC (the European sites)
What decided it
The less-than-substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Talbot Woods and Meyrick Park Conservation Area, which was not outweighed by the modest housing and economic benefits of the proposal.
The less-than-substantial harm to the designated heritage asset of the conservation area was not outweighed by the small contribution to housing supply and economic and social benefits from construction and occupation of the dwelling; the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
