Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal upon the character, appearance and landscape beauty of the South Downs National Park
  • Whether the proposal would result in the provision of two dwellings on the site, and if so, whether this meets the strategy for the provision of additional dwellings in the South Downs National Park

What decided it

The substantial harm to the landscape and scenic beauty of the South Downs National Park caused by siting the dwelling in a visually prominent, undeveloped area outweighed the benefit of reduced access driveway length.
