Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development is in a suitable location in terms of access to services and facilities
- The effect of the development on the intrinsic character and beauty of the landscape
- The effect of the development on the Chichester and Langstone Harbour Special Protection Area
- Whether there are other material considerations that need to be taken into account, including the need for gypsy and traveller accommodation within the District and the personal circumstances of the appellants and other site occupiers
What decided it
The presence of unilateral undertakings and nitrate neutrality schemes in appeals B and C that overcome the SPA integrity concerns, which were absent in appeals A, was the decisive factor distinguishing the allowed appeals from the dismissed enforcement appeals.
