Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site is an appropriate location for the proposed development having regard to the development plan
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, in particular the Lindfield Conservation Area
- whether sufficient information has been provided to demonstrate that the development is safe across its lifetime and would not increase the risk of flooding elsewhere
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan as it is located in the countryside outside the built-up area boundary without demonstrated identified local housing need, and would cause harmful effects on the character and appearance of the area and Lindfield Conservation Area to which great weight must be given.
