Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of future occupiers of the dwelling and those of neighbouring occupiers
  • parking provision
  • the integrity of the Dorset Heathlands

What decided it

The adverse impacts of the development in terms of harm to the character and appearance of the area and to the living conditions of future and neighbouring occupiers significantly and demonstrably outweigh its benefits, even accounting for the Council's housing land supply deficit.

The harm to character and appearance and living conditions was attributed significant weight and found to significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest benefit of one additional dwelling, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
