Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the agricultural need for the building has been justified
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to the location within the South Downs National Park
What decided it
The agricultural need for a building of this scale was not adequately justified, and the proposal would cause harmful effects on the character and appearance of the South Downs National Park.
