- the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
- 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 would significantly and demonstrably outweigh its benefits when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole.
the harm to character and appearance was attributed significant weight and substantially outweighed the modest housing benefit, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply
