Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether permission is required, or has already been granted, for the development as alleged (and if that allegation is correct)
  • Whether, if permission is required, it should be granted
  • If permission is not granted, whether the steps required to be taken exceed what is necessary to achieve the purposes of the notice
  • Whether the time specified for compliance with the notice falls short of what should reasonably be allowed

What decided it

The Inspector's finding that the highway authority's safety objection was unsubstantiated and that the site satisfied the local Gypsy and Traveller site policy (Policy C6), meaning the proposal accorded with the development plan.

the proposal was found to accord with the development plan for Gypsy and Traveller accommodation and no material considerations of sufficient weight indicated a decision otherwise, so permission was granted
