Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area, including the New Forest National Park (the NP)
  • the effect of the proposed development upon protected trees
  • the effect of the proposed development upon designated habitats sites
  • whether or not there are material considerations to outweigh any policy conflicts or harm that might be identified in relation to the above matters

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and to the landscape and scenic beauty of the New Forest National Park outweighed the benefits of the scheme, engaging the paragraph 11d)ii) exception so the tilted balance did not apply.

The great weight given to harm to the character and appearance of the area and the National Park outweighed the very significant weight given to the self-build/HRA/PSED duties and habitats mitigation benefits, tipping the balance against the scheme.
