Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the submitted details in respect of conditions 4, 5 and 6 are adequate in respect of the living conditions of the occupiers, the character and appearance of the area and flood risk
What decided it
The submitted details do not satisfy the requirements of conditions 4, 5 and 6, particularly regarding land contamination, site levels and flood evacuation, such that the Inspector cannot be satisfied the development would provide a safe living environment for the occupiers.
The unmet need for gypsy and traveller pitches and the appellants' personal circumstances and Article 8 rights were outweighed by concerns regarding land contamination, flood risk and potential consequences upon personal safety, which the Inspector attached significant weight to.
