Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the engineering operation and the change of use on the character and appearance of the area and on the landscape.
  • The effect on flood risk.
  • The effect on highway safety.
  • The need for and supply of Gypsy and Traveller pitches in Bassetlaw, including whether there has been any policy failure.
  • The personal circumstances of the appellant and her dependants.

What decided it

The Council's failure to demonstrate a five-year supply of deliverable Gypsy and Traveller pitches, combined with the proposal's accordance with development plan policies, decided the appeal in the appellant's favour.

the shortfall in the supply of deliverable Gypsy and Traveller pitches lent significant weight in favour of the development, reinforced by the appellant's personal circumstances, and was not outweighed by any identified harm, such that the proposal accorded with the development plan as a whole
