Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Sandbanks Conservation Area and whether it would preserve the setting of non-designated heritage assets

What decided it

The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Sandbanks Conservation Area and the setting of non-designated heritage assets, to which great weight must be afforded, is not outweighed by the modest public benefits of the scheme.

The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and the setting of non-designated heritage assets outweighs the modest public benefits of providing a larger modern dwelling and economic benefits from construction

Framework references: 11, 16
