Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposals upon the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of the Scheduled Monument known as The Trundle Hillfort and the grade II* West Dean Registered Park and Garden

What decided it

The modest scale and sympathetic design of both proposals, combined with their limited visibility from public viewpoints and the ability to control light spill through conditions, would not harm the character and appearance of this sensitive national park location.
