Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of adjacent residential occupiers in relation to privacy, noise and disturbance
  • whether car parking and turning arrangements would be satisfactory
  • whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for the occupiers in relation to outlook and external amenity space
  • the effect of the proposal on the Poole Harbour Special Protection Area (SPA) in relation to nutrient neutrality

What decided it

The significant noise and disturbance that would affect adjacent occupiers, combined with unacceptable living conditions for holiday let occupiers and adverse impact on Poole Harbour SPA nutrient neutrality, outweighed the economic benefits of the proposal.
