Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of existing neighbouring occupiers
- Whether adequate living conditions for the intended occupants of the development would be provided
- The effect upon highway safety
- Whether or not the proposed development would make appropriate provision for affordable housing
- The effect of the proposal upon the Dorset Heathlands Special Protection Area and Ramsar site and Dorset Heath Special Area of Conservation; Poole Harbour Special Protection Area and Ramsar site
What decided it
The combined and significant harm to character and appearance, neighbouring and future occupiers' living conditions, and highway safety significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of the scheme even under the tilted balance.
The identified harms to character and appearance, living conditions and highway safety were found to significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery, the affordable housing contribution and economic benefits, so the tilted balance under paragraph 11(d) did not favour the grant of permission.
