Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effects on the Solent and Southampton Water Protected Sites
  • the need for traveller pitches
  • personal circumstances
  • if harm is identified, whether this would be outweighed by other considerations that indicate permission should be granted

What decided it

The shortfall in deliverable traveller pitches and the personal circumstances of the family, including health and childcare needs and the lack of any alternative site, were found collectively to outweigh the identified harm to character and appearance.

the degree of harm to character and appearance, reducible through landscaping mitigation, was outweighed by the significant shortfall in traveller pitch provision and the personal circumstances of the family, such that the decision was taken otherwise than in accordance with the development plan
