Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area including the Arden Special Landscape Area
  • If that effect is unacceptably harmful, whether any other considerations outweigh that harm

What decided it

The substantial weight attributable to the unmet need for gypsy and traveller accommodation, and the absence of alternative sites for the appellant, outweighed the harm to the character and appearance of the area and the Arden Special Landscape Area.

The harm to the character and appearance of the area and the Arden SLA, and the resulting conflict with the development plan as a whole, was outweighed by the substantial weight given to the unmet need for gypsy and traveller accommodation, leading to a temporary permission being granted.
