Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed tourist accommodation would be in a suitable location having regard to the spatial strategy for the District and local policies concerned with the countryside, rural economic development and tourism and cultural facilities
- The effect of the proposed development on the integrity of the Arun Valley Special Protection Area, Special Area of Conservation and Ramsar site
What decided it
The proposal would not achieve water neutrality and would adversely affect the integrity of the Arun Valley SPA/SAC in breach of the Conservation of Habitats and Species Regulations, which is an overriding consideration notwithstanding the suitable location for tourist accommodation.
Plan policies cited: Policy 2, Policy 3, Policy 26, Policy 1 of the Storrington, Sullington and Washington Neighbourhood Plan, Policy 11, Policy 10, Policy 31
