Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed developments on the South Downs National Park's special qualities
  • whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed developments having regard to relevant local policies relating to the countryside
  • the effect of the proposed developments on heritage assets
  • the effect of the proposed developments on the Arun Valley designated sites with specific regard to the Sussex North Water Resource (supply) Zone

What decided it

Both appeals would have a detrimental effect on the special character and qualities of the South Downs National Park and would fail to comply with the development plan, with no sufficiently weighted material considerations to indicate a decision otherwise.

Plan policies cited: Policy SD1, Policy SD4, Policy SD5, Policy SD7, Policy SD8, Policy SD25, Policy SD23, Policy SD12, Policy SD15, Policy SD9, Policy SD17, Policy SD22
