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.

Plan policies cited: CS39, CS41, CS38, Policy 4.4, Policies D3, D4, part 3.4

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
