The development proposed is demolition of the existing building and construction of 11 affordable ‘starter homes’ with associated parking, access and landscaping has been dismissed.
In light of the above points, and as the appeal site lies within the South EastDorset Green Belt, the main issues are:
i. Whether the appeal site should be considered as an affordable housing exception site;
ii. Whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, and its effect on the openness of the Green Belt;
iii. The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area; and
iv. Whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers
