Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the appeal site would be a suitable location for the proposed development, having regard to local and national policy
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including the High Weald National Landscape
What decided it
The proposal's location outside the Limits to Built Development would encourage reliance on the private motor car and undermine a plan-led approach to housing, combined with significant harm to the character and appearance of the area and the High Weald National Landscape.
