Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The caravan is a common feature in residential areas and, given its small size, discrete business signage, and the limited scale of operation, it does not harm the character and appearance of the street scene compared to other caravans and motorhomes commonly parked in the area.
