Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the significance of West Overcliff Drive Conservation Area
What decided it
The garage's limited visibility from the public domain, combined with the existing inconsistencies in the garage block design and the retention of boundary screening, meant the proposal would not harm character and appearance or the Conservation Area's significance.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS41 of the Bournemouth Local Plan: Core Strategy (October 2012)
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.
