Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposal would conserve or enhance the landscape or scenic beauty of the South Downs National Park
- Whether or not the development would be in a suitable location having regard to sustainable transport options
What decided it
The proposal's failure to conserve or enhance the landscape and scenic beauty of the South Downs National Park, combined with its dependence on private car travel and lack of sustainable transport connectivity, outweighs the moderate economic and tourism benefits offered.
