Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the distinctive qualities and natural beauty of the Cranbourne Chase National Landscape
  • whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development with particular regard to the local development strategy

What decided it

The development would cause harm to the character and appearance of the Cranbourne Chase National Landscape through increased height, massing and domestic appearance, and would be located in the countryside outside settlement boundaries contrary to the local development strategy, with no material considerations outweighing this harm.

The moderate weight attributed to the benefit of delivering 3 dwellings towards housing supply and the limited weight given to economic and environmental benefits were outweighed by the harm to the character and appearance of the National Landscape and conflict with the development strategy.
