Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to the effect upon the setting of the nearby listed railway station
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with regard to privacy, noise, and odour
- whether adequate levels of parking provision would be provided
- the impact of the proposal upon the integrity of the Solent Waters habitat sites
What decided it
The unacceptable harm to the setting of the listed railway station, combined with unacceptable living conditions for future occupiers and failure to protect the Solent Waters habitat sites, meant the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed any benefits.
