Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The main issue is the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area.

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the countryside was not outweighed by the benefits of providing a settled base for the appellants' families, including the best interests of the children.

The considerable weight attached to significant harm to the character and appearance of the area outweighed the moderate weight given to unmet need and personal circumstances and the significant weight given to the best interests of the children, both on a permanent and temporary basis.
