Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to its location within the South Downs National Park (SDNP)
- the effect of the proposal on protected species (bats)
What decided it
The proposed development would not conserve or enhance the landscape character of the South Downs National Park and would appear as an incongruous feature in the rural setting, contrary to the development plan and NPPF requirements.
