Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the principle of three holiday chalets at the appeal site would be acceptable having regard to the effect on the character and appearance of the Bramdean Common-The Plantation SINC, Bramdean Common SINC and the South Downs National Park
- The effect upon habitat comprising ancient woodland, The Plantation SINC and Bramdean Common SINC
- The purpose of the National Park
What decided it
The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the woodland and the first purpose of the National Park, and the identified benefits do not represent wholly exceptional reasons for allowing development affecting irreplaceable ancient woodland habitat.
