Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the appeal site represents a suitable location for the proposed development, having regard to relevant provisions of the development plan
the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The site's remote location in open countryside, divorced from settlements and requiring reliance on private car travel, combined with the visual prominence of the elevated caravans in an attractive rural landscape, rendered the proposal unsuitable and harmful contrary to the development plan.
