Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The main issue is whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant an LDC was well-founded.
What decided it
The Inspector found that the proposed siting of static caravans would be likely to cause significant differences in hard landscaping and consequent ecological and visual impacts compared with the permitted camping and caravan use, amounting to a material change of use which the appellant had not shown to be lawful.
