Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character or appearance of the Boscombe Manor Conservation Area
- protected species, with particular regard to bats
- the living conditions of the occupiers of No's. 15 and 19 Boscombe Overcliff Drive and No. 53 Keswick Road, with particular regard to privacy
What decided it
The proposed development would cause less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Boscombe Manor Conservation Area at a prominent entry point, with public benefits insufficient to outweigh this harm, and the absence of up-to-date evidence to demonstrate no harm to protected species.
