Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
- whether the proposed development provides acceptable living conditions for the occupiers in terms of the provision of private outdoor space
- whether the development would impact upon the integrity of the Special Protection Areas (SPA) of the Solent Coastline
What decided it
The proposal maintains the existing number of residential properties and bedrooms, resulting in no net increase in residential development and therefore no adverse impact on the Special Protection Areas, removing the need for mitigation and resolving the Council's primary concern.
