Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the appeal scheme having regard to the spatial strategy for housing in the development plan
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the appeal scheme having regard to the accessibility of services and facilities
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area including the Dorset National Landscape
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the setting of the Chideock Conservation Area and other designated and non-designated heritage assets
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the setting of the Chideock Conservation Area and the character and appearance of the Dorset National Landscape, which were not outweighed by the limited public benefits of the proposal, combined with conflict with the spatial strategy of the development plan.
