Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to the landscape and cultural heritage of the SDNP
- the rural economy, tourism and local communities, with particular regard to the development strategy contained within the development plan
What decided it
The significant harm to the character and appearance of the area, landscape and cultural heritage of the South Downs National Park, combined with the failure to demonstrate compliance with policies SD32 and SD41 regarding agricultural workers dwellings and conversion of redundant agricultural buildings, outweighed the limited benefits of the scheme.
