Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the Arun Valley Special Area of Conservation, Special Protection Area and Ramsar site in relation to water neutrality, and whether the appeal development provides ecological enhancements appropriate to its scale
  • whether the appeal development is acceptable in principle in this location
  • the effect on the character and appearance of the area, having regard to the location of the site within the South Downs National Park

What decided it

The unacceptable risk of harm to the Arun Valley Sites in relation to water neutrality, as the appellant could not demonstrate with sufficient certainty that the appeal building would not result in increased water consumption compared to the previous building or fallback position.
