Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of granting a new planning permission for 17 static caravans in lieu of the approved 27 touring caravans, without condition 2, on the safety of the occupiers of the 17 static caravans, having regard to the proximity of the site to Bacton Gas Terminal
  • the effect of granting a new planning permission for 17 static caravans in lieu of the approved 27 touring caravans, without condition 2, on designated habitat sites

What decided it

The substitution of 17 static caravans for 27 touring caravans represents a net reduction in capacity which, when balanced against the extended occupancy period, would not result in intensification of the use of the existing caravan site and would not increase risk to life or property or adversely affect designated habitat sites.
