Why it was refused
- The site lies between 400m and 5km of Dorset heathlands which are protected under European legislation for their wildlife importance. The Dorset Heathlands Planning Framework Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) 2020-2025 sets out the means by which the cumulative impacts of additional residential development in this zone can be mitigated. In this instance the proposal fails to secure the mitigation measures identified as necessary in the SPD such that it would be contrary to policy CS33 and the provisions of the National Planning Policy Framework.
- The site lies within 13.8km of New Forest SAC, New Forest SPA and New Forest Ramsar, which are protected under European legislation for their wildlife importance. It has been demonstrated in the recent report by Footprint Ecology to the New Forest Steering Group (New Forest Strategic Access Management & Monitoring (SAMM) Strategy October 2024) and in agreement with Natural England that additional recreational pressure from additional dwelling(s) have the potential to harm the integrity of these designated sites. The proposed development has not secured the appropriate level of mitigation to safeguard the New Forest designated sites from recreational related impacts. It cannot therefore be ruled out beyond all reasonable scientific doubt that the proposed development would not have an adverse effect on the New Forest designated sites, either alone or in combination with other proposals. Taking a precautionary approach, it is therefore considered that the proposal would be contrary to Section 63 of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations 2017.
