Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the High Weald National Landscape, including consideration of its effect upon existing trees
- whether it has been satisfactorily demonstrated that acceptable arrangements for the management of surface water would prevail
What decided it
The significant adverse impacts of the proposed development on the High Weald National Landscape and surface water management, combined with policy conflicts, outweighed the housing supply benefits, and the Framework's protection of National Landscapes provided a clear reason for refusal.
the significant adverse impacts related to the effect upon the High Weald National Landscape and surface water management outweighed the social and economic benefits of three family-sized homes and housing land supply contribution
