Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the host property and area
The effect of the proposal upon the living conditions of occupiers of 1-4 New Park Road with regard to privacy and outlook
The effect upon the integrity of the Dorset Heathlands Special Protection Area (SPA), Ramsar and the Dorset Heaths Special Area of Conservation (SAC)

What decided it

The proposed development would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the host property and area and adversely affect the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through loss of outlook and privacy, contrary to the development plan.

Framework references: 11, 195

Plan policies cited: CS21, CS41, Policy 6.10

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
