Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development is in a suitable location having regard to the Council's spatial strategy
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, having particular regard to the effect on the High Weald National Landscape
What decided it
The development failed to demonstrate it was essential to a countryside location as required by Policy 26 of the HDPF and unacceptably harmed the character and appearance of the High Weald National Landscape through extensive hard surfacing and storage of bulky utilitarian structures.
Plan policies cited: Policy 10, Policy 25, Policy 26, Policy 29, Policy 30, Policy 33
