Why it was refused

  1. The siting, design and external appearance of the proposed building are considered unacceptable. The L-shaped form, positioned immediately adjacent to the designated Public Right of Way (Route Number: 020/55b/3), would create an enclosing and visually prominent feature for users of the route, further restricting views of the wider landscape. The proposed black corrugated metal cladding would also appear unsympathetic to the site, where existing buildings are predominantly finished in timber. The proposal would therefore fail to conserve and enhance the natural beauty of the South Downs National Park. Planning permission is therefore required for the proposed development.

From the council's decision notice.
