Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the location of the proposed development would be in accordance with the Council's spatial strategy with particular regard to access to facilities and services
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to whether it would conserve and enhance the landscape and scenic beauty of the High Weald National Landscape
What decided it
The inappropriate location of the development outside the Limits to Built Development with high reliance on private motor vehicles, combined with unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the High Weald National Landscape, could not be outweighed by the benefits of providing a self-build dwelling.
