Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed developments would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Branksome Park Conservation Area
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the Branksome Park Conservation Area caused by the proposed developments would not be outweighed by the limited public benefits, particularly given the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply and the Framework's requirement to give great weight to the conservation of designated heritage assets.
the limited public benefits (one additional dwelling for Appeal A, no additional dwelling for Appeal B, economic benefits, and efficient land use) did not outweigh the less than substantial but considerable harm to the significance of the conservation area, with great weight given to heritage conservation
