Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Old Christchurch Road Conservation Area, and its effect on the setting of the Shul Bournemouth Hebrew Congregation Synagogue, a Grade II listed building
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents, with regards to noise, odour and vibration

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area caused by the incongruous flue and extension, which is not outweighed by the limited economic benefits, combined with unresolved concerns about impacts on neighbouring residents' living conditions.
