Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development plan would support the stationing of the static caravan for residential occupation on this site
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The failure to demonstrate an essential need for residential occupation in accordance with Policy 7 of the Local Plan and paragraph 80a of the Framework, combined with the substantial harm to the character and appearance of the rural area.
The limited benefits that would accrue from the on-site presence, including educational benefits and local tourism provision, were outweighed by the substantial weight attributed to the policy non-compliance in the countryside and the harm to character and appearance.
Framework references: 80a
Plan policies cited: Policy 7, Policy 1, Policy 2, Policy 12, Policy 21, Policy 23
