Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development complies with local policies which seek to limit the scale of extensions to rural dwellings, with particular regard to the effect of the proposed development on the locally distinctive character of the built environment of the New Forest and the range and mix of housing stock available
What decided it
The modest scale and rear location of the extension, combined with its subservient design and imperceptibility from public views, meant that despite breaching Policy DP36, it would not cause adverse impacts on the locally distinctive character of the New Forest or housing stock mix.
Framework references: 54
Plan policies cited: Policy DP36, Policy SP17, Policy SP5, Policy SP6
