Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would conserve or enhance the landscape and scenic beauty of the High Weald National Landscape
- whether the proposal would prejudice highway safety
What decided it
The proposal would cause harm to the High Weald National Landscape and the proposed access would be prejudicial to highway safety, and these harms are not outweighed by the moderate benefit of providing two new dwellings.
The moderate benefit of providing two new dwellings was outweighed by the harm to the High Weald National Landscape and the prejudice to highway safety.
