Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Branksome Park and Chine Gardens Conservation Area, and the setting and significance of the nearby non-designated heritage assets
  • highway safety
  • European sites

What decided it

The proposed dwelling would respect the spacious, wooded character of the conservation area and would not appear as an incongruous feature when viewed within the context of detached dwellings on generous verdant plots, thereby preserving the character and appearance of the area and the setting of nearby heritage assets.
