Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the landscape and rural character of the area and the setting of the Chichester AONB
- The effect of the proposed development on ecology, including protected species, protected sites and wildlife corridors
- Whether there is satisfactory provision for the treatment of the sewage arising from the proposed developments
What decided it
The tilted balance under paragraph 11d) of the Framework was engaged due to the Council's housing land supply shortfall, and the substantial and very substantial benefits of market and affordable housing delivery were not significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant landscape harm identified.
the significant landscape and visual harm and conflict with out-of-date housing distribution policies were weighed against the substantial benefits of housing delivery, very substantial affordable housing benefits, and significant ecological, economic and open space benefits, with the balance tipping in favour of allowing both appeals under the tilted balance
