Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is in a sustainable location providing suitable access to local services and facilities
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on the Ashdown Forest Special Protection Area (SPA)
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the area (including the AONB) and to the Ashdown Forest SPA outweighed the personal circumstances and lack of a 5-year supply of gypsy and traveller sites.
The harm to the character and appearance of the area, including the AONB, and to the Ashdown Forest SPA outweighed the personal circumstances of the appellant and his family, the best interests of the children, and the lack of a 5-year supply of deliverable gypsy and traveller sites, so the appeal was dismissed
