Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development is inappropriate development within the Green Belt having regard to the Framework and relevant policies including the effect on openness of the Green Belt
  • The need for the development for the occupiers of the site including any resident children
  • If the development is inappropriate, whether any harm would be clearly outweighed by other considerations so as to amount to very special circumstances

What decided it

The substantial benefits to education and health of children and residents of the gypsy and traveller site, combined with the application of the Public Sector Equality Duty and UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, clearly outweighed the limited Green Belt harm and established very special circumstances.
