Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety, with particular regard to recreational users of the public right of way
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regards to landscape character and trees
- Whether the appeal scheme likely has significant effects, whether by itself or in combination with other plans and proposals, on the River Eden SAC
- Whether there are material considerations which exist that outweigh the conflicts with the development plan and any other identified harm resulting from the appeal proposal
What decided it
The substantial harm to highway safety and to the integrity of the River Eden SAC was not clearly outweighed by the benefits of meeting gypsy and traveller accommodation need and the personal circumstances of the extended family.
The general need for gypsy and traveller pitches, lack of alternative sites, personal circumstances of the extended family, best interests of the children, and Article 8/PSED considerations did not clearly outweigh the substantial harm to highway safety and the River Eden SAC.
