- the effect of the development on the spatial strategy of the development plan and accessibility by means of sustainable transport
- the landscape

- protected species
- the Wealden Heaths Special Protection Area Phase II
- highway safety
What decided it
The conflict with the spatial strategy of the development plan and the poor accessibility to services and facilities by sustainable transport, combined with moderate localised landscape harm, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing supply benefit.
The modest benefit of providing one additional dwelling to housing supply was significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the harms identified: conflict with spatial strategy, poor sustainable transport accessibility, and moderate landscape harm.
