Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would constitute ancillary accommodation
- Whether it is appropriate to the countryside location regarding local and national policy
- Its effect on the character and appearance of the area with regard to the natural beauty of the South Downs National Park
What decided it
The proposal's location in open countryside with poor accessibility to services and high car dependency failed to accord with local and national policy requirements for sustainable development, which could not be outweighed by the neutral effect on landscape character.
