Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of its surroundings
What decided it
The proposed building would be largely and effectively masked from wider views by extant development and greenery, and would sit acceptably in its spatial context without harming character and appearance.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy HE2 of the Christchurch and East Dorset Local Plan – Core Strategy
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
