Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with specific reference to the Old Bursledon Special Policy Area (the OBSPA) and trees

What decided it

The replacement dwelling, despite its increased size, would not be disproportionately larger than the existing dwelling when assessed against the character and appearance criteria in Policy BU7, and would be successfully integrated into the landscape through its design, siting, and relationship to mature trees and wooded surroundings.
