Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed developments on the South Downs National Park's special qualities
- whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed developments having regard to relevant local policies relating to the countryside
- the effect of the proposed developments on heritage assets
- the effect of the proposed developments on the Arun Valley designated sites with specific regard to the Sussex North Water Resource (supply) Zone
What decided it
Both appeals would have a detrimental effect on the special character and qualities of the South Downs National Park and would harm the character of the Hoyle Conservation Area, with no sufficiently weighted material considerations to outweigh these harms.
