Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would conserve and enhance the natural beauty of the South Downs National Park, and whether any adverse effect would be justified by need
What decided it
The development would fail to conserve and enhance the natural beauty of the National Park, and any adverse effect would not be justified by the unsubstantiated agricultural need claimed.
The claimed agricultural need did not outweigh the unacceptable adverse effects on the natural beauty and landscape character of the South Downs National Park.
