Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the location of the appeal site is suitable for the proposed development having regard to the local development strategy on the uses appropriate within an employment area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of occupiers of Ebenezer Cottage (the host property), with particular reference to privacy and the provision of private outdoor space
- whether future occupiers of the proposed development would experience acceptable living conditions, with respect to privacy, private outdoor space, internal space, bicycle and bin storage, car parking and noise
- whether the proposed development would be likely to have a significant effect on the integrity of the Dorset Heathlands, including the Special Protection Area (SPA) and the Dorset Heaths Special Area of Conservation (SAC), and the Poole Harbour SPA
What decided it
The proposed development would have a significant adverse effect on the integrity of the Dorset Heathlands and Poole Harbour designated sites, and the Framework's habitat protection policies provide a clear reason for refusal that displaces the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
