Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area
the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers

What decided it

The retention of the proposal is contrary to policy ENV3 part i of the New Forest District Council Local Plan as the varied materials, ad hoc heights, and poor quality design result in a visually prominent addition that is unsympathetic and out of character with the host property and fails to integrate well with the surrounding area.

Framework references: 135

Plan policies cited: ENV3

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.
