Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development having regard to the spatial strategy of the development plan
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the local area, including the impact on protected trees, and European protected sites
What decided it
The proposal fails to accord with the development plan spatial strategy and cannot be shown to provide adequate mitigation for adverse effects on the integrity of the Solent Special Protection Areas.
The contribution of 2 dwellings to housing supply and the local connections of the prospective occupants did not outweigh the harm identified in relation to strategic policies, character and appearance, and European protected sites.
