Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding landscape, in particular its effect on the adjoining South Downs National Park
- whether or not the site is a suitable location for residential land use, having regard to the spatial strategy of the development plan
What decided it
The significant harmful impact on the landscape and setting of the South Downs National Park, which provides a strong reason for refusing the development under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework, outweighs the moderate benefits of housing delivery.
The moderate benefits of housing delivery and economic contribution were outweighed by the significant harm to the South Downs National Park setting, which provided a strong reason for refusal displacing the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
