Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it
The development would not harm character and appearance and would not give rise to significant effect on the Wealden Heaths Phase II SPA, while contributing to housing supply in an area lacking five-year supply.
The benefits of housing delivery and the absence of harm to character and appearance and European sites outweighed any other considerations.

- Paragraph 130Paragraph 60Paragraph 64Paragraph 56
