Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether a residential development in the location of the appeal site is acceptable in principle
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the effect of the proposal on the significance of undesignated heritage assets
- Whether the proposal would be of an acceptable standard of sustainable design and construction, in line with local requirements
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with Policy 45 of the development plan as it does not meet a specific local need requiring a countryside location and would cause harm to the character and appearance of the area and the significance of the undesignated heritage asset Loxwood Hall, which outweighs the limited public benefit.
the adverse impact on the character and appearance of the area and the harm to the significance of the undesignated heritage asset clearly outweigh the limited public benefit of a single additional home towards local need
