Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • whether adequate mitigation has been secured to ensure the proposal would not have a likely significant effect on the Dorset Heathlands Special Area of Conservation (SAC), Special Protection Area (SPA) and Ramsar site, and the New Forest SAC, SPA and Ramsar site

What decided it

The particular circumstances of the site—its narrow gap between terraces, modest footprint, single-storey form and recessed siting—mean the detached dwelling would read as a subordinate outbuilding rather than a break in the established terrace pattern, and the secured mitigation ensures no likely significant effect on European sites.
