Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be consistent with local and national policies relating to the location of new housing development
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan's location strategy and would cause significant harm to the character, appearance and openness of the South Downs National Park, and specific Framework policies relating to National Parks provide a clear reason for refusal notwithstanding the lack of a 5-year housing supply.
The benefits of housing delivery were outweighed by the significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and the failure to conserve and enhance the landscape and scenic beauty of the National Park, with specific Framework policies providing a clear reason for refusal
Framework references: 11
Plan policies cited: Policy SD25, Policy SD4, Policy SD5
