Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of The Studio and River Cottage, 77 High Street, with regard to noise, disturbance and privacy

The intrinsically close physical proximity between the patio and the adjacent residential dwellings and their windows means the proposal would inevitably cause noise and disturbance to occupiers, conflicting with Policy HE2 of the Core Strategy and paragraph 185 of the NPPF.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy HE2 of the Christchurch and East Dorset Core StrategyPolicy DES2 of the East Dorset Local Plan
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 185
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.
