Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the conditions are reasonable and necessary, having regard to the site's location within the Green Belt, and other material considerations
What decided it
The substantial and persistent unmet need for gypsy and traveller pitches in the area, combined with the Council's ongoing failure to adequately cater for these needs through policy, clearly outweighs the harm to the Green Belt and establishes very special circumstances justifying a permanent permission.
