Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the significance of a non-designated heritage asset, ridge and furrow features
  • the effect on the character and appearance of the area, including on the setting of the Fulbeck Conservation Area and from access/traffic
  • the effect on flood risk, with regard to the effect on the living conditions of the future occupiers
  • if there is harm, whether this is outweighed by the need and supply of pitches for Gypsies and Travellers, and other considerations

What decided it

The 'less than substantial harm' to the significance of the Fulbeck Conservation Area, reinforced by harm to a non-designated heritage asset and unresolved flood risk, was not outweighed by the public benefits, disapplying the tilted balance.

The very significant weight given to harm to heritage assets, character and appearance, and flood risk outweighed the significant weight attributable to the need and supply of Gypsy and Traveller pitches, lack of alternative sites, and the appellants' personal circumstances.
