Why it was refused

  1. The application site lies in a rural location outside any of the defined development boundaries identified within the Wealden Local Plan, and within the Low Weald landscape character area, where new development is carefully controlled. The information with the application does not satisfactorily demonstrate an existing functional need for the mobile home at the farm holding or that the new enterprise has an existing sound financial basis for estimated growth over the proposed temporary period. Based on the information currently available, the proposal is unjustified residential development in the countryside in conflict with the provisions of Spatial Planning Objectives SPO1 and SPO13 and Policy WCS14 of the adopted Core Strategy Local Plan 2013, Saved Policies GD2, DC17 and DC2 of the adopted Wealden Local Plan (1998), coupled with paragraphs 8, 11, 84 and 110 of the National Planning Policy Framework 2024.

From the council's decision notice.
