Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the size of the replacement dwelling would be supported by planning policy
  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area having regard to the location within the SDNP
  • the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of occupiers of nearby properties
  • the effect of the proposal on the integrity of the Arun Valley Special Area of Conservation, Special Protection Area, and Ramsar Site with regard to groundwater abstraction

What decided it

The absence of sufficient certainty that water abstraction would not have adverse effects on the integrity of the Arun Valley sites, combined with policy conflicts on dwelling size, character and appearance, and living conditions harm, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan with no material considerations of sufficient weight to indicate otherwise.
