Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with specific regard to the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)

What decided it

The proposed access and parking area would not harm the rural character or appearance of the area or the natural landscape of the AONB, as the parking would be screened by boundary planting and the design would be sympathetic to the semi-rural character of the location.
