Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including on the High Weald National Landscape
- living conditions of future occupants, with specific regard to the adequacy of the proposed external amenity space
What decided it
The existence of a previous planning permission establishing the principle of a dwelling at the site constituted a fallback position of very significant weight that outweighed the conflict with out-of-date settlement boundary policies.
The conflict with out-of-date settlement boundary policies was outweighed by the fallback position of the previously approved dwelling and the proposal's compliance with character and appearance and living conditions policies.
