Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects on the openness and purposes of the Green Belt
- The effects on the character and appearance of the countryside, to include the relevance of policy ID8, seeking to protect Greenways and public rights of way
- The degree of compliance with policy LC9, the criteria-based policy applicable to applications for Traveller sites
- Whether the harm to the Green Belt and other harm is clearly outweighed by other considerations such that very special circumstances exist to justify the development
What decided it
The substantial harm to the Green Belt through inappropriate development that fails to preserve openness and conflicts with the purpose of safeguarding countryside from encroachment is not clearly outweighed by the appellant's personal circumstances and care responsibilities, as the Council has adequate Traveller site supply and a flexible policy allowing alternatives elsewhere.
