Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, having regard to its location within the South Downs National Park
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed dwelling having regard to the policies of the local development strategy
- The effect of the proposal on biodiversity
- Whether the proposal would accord with the Authority's development plan policies in respect of mitigating the impacts of climate change
What decided it
The proposal conflicts with the development plan as a whole, particularly through harm to landscape character in a National Park, location outside settlement boundaries without meeting exceptional criteria, absence of required ecological surveys, and failure to demonstrate climate change mitigation compliance.
