Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal meets the Council's strategy for the distribution of development, having regard to access to services and facilities, and the protection of the countryside
What decided it
The proposal would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the area through introducing an intensive, high-density form of development that would be much more visually prominent than the existing low-density pattern and the realistic fallback of additional caravans.
