Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular respect to the Isle of Wight National Landscape
What decided it
The proposed development would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the Isle of Wight National Landscape, an area afforded the highest status of protection, which substantially and demonstrably outweighs its limited benefits.
The great weight attributed to the harm to the character and appearance of the area, including the National Landscape, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the limited benefits of the proposed development, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply
