Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the accommodation element of the proposed development would constitute ancillary accommodation
  • The effect of the proposed development on the special qualities of the South Downs National Park and the Arun Valley designated sites with specific regard to the Sussex North Water Resource (supply) Zone

What decided it

The proposed accommodation element failed to demonstrate the required physical dependency on the host dwelling as required by Policy SD31, and the proposal would materially increase water demand with unclear implications for the Arun Valley designated sites.
