Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposal on the integrity of the EPS

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the visually dominant and cramped appearance of the new dwelling in relation to the established spacious townscape, which significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest benefits of delivering one additional dwelling.

The modest benefits of housing delivery and meeting local housing need were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance; the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy CS17 of the Fareham Local Development Framework Core Strategy (2011)
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 11Paragraph 8Paragraph 69
