Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal is in a suitable location in the countryside and future occupants would have reasonable access to facilities and services, having regard to the development plan, the National Planning Policy Framework (the Framework), and the Planning policy for traveller sites (PPTS)
  • the need for, and provision of, sites for Gypsies and Travellers in the area
  • whether there are any other material considerations in support

What decided it

The existing unmet need for pitches, absence of alternative sites, and the Article 8 implications of a roadside existence outweighed the limited locational harm, justifying a temporary rather than permanent permission.

the limited harm arising from conflict with the Council's spatial strategy and Framework paragraph 80 was outweighed, for the purposes of a temporary permission, by the unmet pitch need, lack of alternative sites, and Article 8 considerations, pending the new local plan and evidence base
