Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether any effects on habitats sites would be mitigated
  • whether the statutory biodiversity net gain (BNG) would be achieved
  • the effect of the appeal scheme on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the appeal scheme on the availability of car parking

What decided it

The absence of any mechanism to mitigate the effects of the proposed development on the Dorset Heathlands and New Forest protected habitats meant that the impact significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefit of providing one dwelling.
