Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the building and the wider area with particular regard to the dark skies of the High Weald National Landscape (HWNL)
What decided it
The imposition of a condition requiring a scheme of works to the glazing of the building's upper floor windows to minimise internal light spillage into the night sky provided sufficient mitigation to protect the dark skies of the High Weald National Landscape.
