Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development is consistent with local policies relating to the location of new development
  • The effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the development upon the living conditions of nearby occupiers with regard to noise, traffic and air pollution
  • The effect upon the safe and efficient operation of the local highway network

What decided it

The building is incidental to an established traveller site and used for purposes integral to the appellants' traditional gypsy and traveller culture rather than commercial or industrial activity, making its location in open countryside acceptable.
