Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, with particular regard to the effect on the long-term health and vitality of trees
- the effect of the proposed development on the Poole Harbour SPA
What decided it
The proposal would result in increased nutrient loading to the Poole Harbour SPA without any mitigation to achieve nutrient neutrality, causing significant and adverse effects on the integrity of the SPA in breach of the Habitats Regulations, which outweighs the modest housing benefit.
The modest benefit of one new dwelling and small economic advantages were outweighed by the significant and adverse impact on the integrity of the Poole Harbour SPA, which is a legislative matter of such significance that it precludes the development.
