Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development is an appropriate reuse of a previously developed site and conserves and enhances the special qualities of the National Park
- the effect of the proposed development on the character or appearance of the Glynde Conservation Area and on the setting of a nearby listed building, Glynde Mill
- whether the proposal would harm the intrinsic qualities of the South Downs National Park Dark Night Skies
What decided it
The failure to conserve or enhance the special qualities of the National Park, combined with less than substantial but significant harm to heritage assets, could not be justified by the modest public benefits of a single dwelling.
