Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the site is in a suitable location for two residential caravans having particular regard to local and national policy
What decided it
The site is not in a sustainable location for residential use, as it lacks proximate services, facilities and employment opportunities accessible without reliance on a private car, and the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits.
The adverse impacts of granting planning permission for two residential caravans significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole, outweighing the significant weight afforded to the appellant's personal circumstances as a blind long-term resident, such that the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply.
