Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether or not the development would be in a suitable location having regard to policies for the location of development
  • the effect of the development upon the countryside
  • whether or not the development would be compliant with policies for development affecting agricultural land

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan strategy for caravan development and would result in significantly harmful effects to the countryside that substantially outweigh the limited economic benefits.
