Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the fence on the landscape and scenic beauty of the High Weald National Landscape
the effect of the fence on the setting of nearby heritage assets

What decided it

The fence introduces an incongruous urban structure within a rural National Landscape setting and harms the setting of a group of heritage assets, with minimal public benefits that do not outweigh this harm.

Framework references: 208

Plan policies cited: Policy DP12, Policy DP16, Policy DP26, Policy DP34, Policy HK1, Policy HK4, Policy HK6, Policy HK9

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
