Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The accord of the proposal with the development strategy
  • The effect on the character and appearance of the area of countryside
  • Whether the development can be mitigated to be 'nitrate neutral' and the effects on the Solent Special Protection Areas (SPAs)
  • Whether the Council can demonstrate a five-year supply of gypsy and traveller sites to meet local needs and the availability of alternative sites
  • The personal circumstances of the appellants including the best interests of any children

What decided it

The significant harm to the countryside's physical character and tranquillity, and consequent conflict with the development plan, outweighed the personal circumstances and best interests of the children.

the harm to countryside character and conflict with the development plan outweighed the benefits of family cohesion and the children's best interests, such that neither permanent nor temporary permission was justified
