Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effects of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the living conditions of the occupiers of 1 & 2 Templeman's Ash, with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The extension and buildings cause harmful erosion to the character and appearance of the Dorset National Landscape, which has the highest status of protection, and this harm cannot be outweighed by the moderate benefits of the scheme.
