Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area including the Dorset Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)

What decided it

The grassed appearance of the site, its separation from adjoining fields by fencing, and the removal of permitted development rights to restrict built form meant the proposal would adequately reflect existing plot patterns and avoid uncharacteristic urban extension into the AONB, to which great weight was given.
