Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be suitably located having regard to relevant development plan policies concerning the provision of housing in the district
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, and whether it would conserve and enhance the landscape and scenic beauty of the High Weald National Landscape
What decided it
The harmful impact on the character and appearance of the area and the High Weald National Landscape, to which great weight must be given, combined with the unsuitability of the location for housing under the spatial strategy, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of the proposal.
the adverse impacts and harm identified, particularly to the National Landscape and character of the area, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of housing supply and modest economic contributions
