Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the integrity of the Dorset Heathland Special Protection Area and Special Area of Conservation and the Poole Harbour Special Protection Area
  • The character and appearance of the area
  • The living conditions of the occupants of 2a Phyldon Road and 73 Uppleby Road, having regard to privacy

What decided it

The failure to secure a legally sound mitigation agreement to address significant adverse effects on the integrity of protected habitats, combined with significant harm to the character and appearance of the area, outweighed the material benefits of housing delivery in a context of critical housing land supply shortfall.

The substantial benefits of delivering one additional dwelling to address a critical housing land supply shortfall of 1.6 years and the economic and community benefits were outweighed by the significant adverse effects on protected habitats (without secured mitigation) and significant harm to the character and appearance of the area, with paragraph 188 of the NPPF providing a clear reason for refusal.
