Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed development would result in a large, bulky dwelling that would harmfully undermine the characteristic rural appearance and scenic beauty of this remote location within the South Downs National Park, contrary to Policy SD30 and other development plan policies, with limited benefits that would not outweigh this harm.
Plan policies cited: Policy SD1, Policy SD4, Policy SD5, Policy SD6, Policy SD7, Policy SD8, Policy SD30, Policy SD9, Policy SD10, Policy SD11, Policy SD20, Policy SD12
