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 living conditions of the occupiers of 15 Hambledon Road, with particular reference to outlook impacts
  • The effect of the proposal on the integrity of the Dorset Heathlands SPA, Ramsar Site and Dorset Heaths SAC

What decided it

The significant harms to character and appearance and to neighbouring living conditions would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery and economic benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.

The modest benefits of three additional dwellings and economic benefits were outweighed by the significant harms to character and appearance and neighbouring living conditions, such that the proposal would not be a sustainable form of development despite the Council's inability to demonstrate a 5-year housing land supply.
