Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)
- whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Mayfield and Coggins Mill Conservation Area (CA)
What decided it
The design of the dwelling, particularly its roof form, positioning, and the gaps it creates, would ensure that filtered public views of the open, undulating landscape to the south would not be prejudiced, and the proposal would not harm the landscape and scenic beauty of the AONB.
