Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the impact of the proposal upon the living conditions of nearby residents, with particular regard to light levels and outlook
- the impact upon the integrity of the Dorset Heathlands habitat sites and upon the Poole Harbour habitat sites
What decided it
The unsigned draft Unilateral Undertaking could not provide the necessary mitigation for adverse effects on the integrity of the Dorset Heathlands and Poole Harbour habitat sites, which constituted significant harm that outweighed the benefits of the proposal.
the benefits of additional residential accommodation in a location near services and facilities were outweighed by the significant harm to the integrity of designated habitat sites
