Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the Isle of Wight AONB
- The effect of the proposed development on protected species
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the AONB from the visual intrusion of the proposed dwelling and loss of the distinctive landscaped frontage, which conflicts with development plan policies and Framework guidance protecting the AONB and cannot be outweighed by the limited benefits of a single dwelling.
The significant harm to the AONB and character and appearance outweighed the limited benefits of housing delivery, effective land use, affordable housing contribution, and economic benefits from a single dwelling.
Framework references: 11, 57, 65, 135, 180, 182, 186
