Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location, taking account of the Council's adopted spatial strategy
  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposed development on pedestrian safety
  • Whether the proposed drainage strategy is appropriate

What decided it

The proposal would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and the landscape and scenic beauty of the National Landscape and Heritage Coast, conflicting with the development plan, which could not be outweighed by the limited benefits of the scheme.
