Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the site managers accommodation would be in a suitable location having regard to the policies of the Harborough District Local Plan 2019, the National Planning Policy Framework and accessibility

What decided it

The unacceptable location of the proposed site managers accommodation in the countryside away from services and public transport, which fails to accord with local plan policies GD3 and GD4 and NPPF paragraphs 79 and 80, outweighs the moderate benefits of the campsite element.
