Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the submitted details in respect of conditions 4, 5 and 6 are adequate in respect of the living conditions of the occupiers, the character and appearance of the area and flood risk
What decided it
The submitted details do not satisfy the requirements of conditions 4, 5 and 6, and the Inspector cannot be satisfied that the development would provide a safe living environment for the appellants and their dependants, particularly regarding contamination and flooding.
The unmet need for gypsy and traveller pitches and the appellants' personal circumstances and human rights under Article 8 were outweighed by the significant weight attached to concerns regarding land contamination, flood risk and the potential consequences upon personal safety.
