Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for future occupants with specific regard to internal space
  • the effect on the Special Protection Areas of the Solent Coastline (SPA)

What decided it

The significant harm to character and appearance combined with inadequate living conditions for future occupants and unmitigated adverse effects on the SPA outweigh the limited housing benefits in the absence of a 5-year supply.

The benefits of housing provision and modest economic and social benefits were afforded limited weight and were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts on character and appearance, living conditions of future occupants, and the SPA.
