Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for a new dwelling, having regard to its location within open countryside and the National Park Authority adopted settlement strategy
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the Forest North East Conservation Area and the setting of locally listed buildings
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety, with particular regard to access, parking and turning areas
- Whether the proposal would provide adequate mitigation for impacts upon the integrity of the New Forest and Solent Coast European designated nature conservation sites, having particular regard to increased recreational usage and increased output of nutrients
What decided it
The proposal fails to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Forest North East Conservation Area and harms the setting of locally listed buildings, contrary to Local Plan policies and the Framework's requirement to conserve and enhance the historic environment in National Parks.
