Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed development, having regard to the development plan and the accessibility of the site to services and facilities
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the High Weald Area National Landscape
- whether suitable living conditions would be provided for future occupants of the development, with regard to odour, noise and disturbance
What decided it
The economic and tourism benefits of converting existing farm buildings to holiday lets, supported by countryside policies and causing no harm to the National Landscape, outweighed the minor harm from the site's unsustainable location.
