Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the integrity of the Dorset Heathlands Special Protection Area (SPA)
- The effect of the proposed development on the Poole Harbour SPA
- Whether the proposed scheme would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to access to daylight, sunlight and outlook
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area with respect to the size of the plots, the pattern of surrounding development and on an adjacent Oak tree
What decided it
The proposal would result in likely significant adverse effects on the integrity of protected European habitat sites (Dorset Heathlands SPA and Poole Harbour SPA) without an executed legal agreement to secure adequate mitigation, which provides a strong reason for refusal under paragraph 11(d) of the NPPF and conflicts with development plan policies PP32 and PP39.
The benefits of housing delivery and efficient use of land were outweighed by the likely significant adverse effects on the integrity of protected habitat sites, which provide a strong reason for refusal under the Framework and conflict with development plan policies protecting European sites
