Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

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

  • Whether the means of surface and foul water drainage of the site would be sufficient
  • The effect of the development on protected species, with specific reference to Great Crested Newts
  • Whether the proposal would provide a biodiversity net gain

What decided it

The Council's acceptance of a personal Gypsy/Traveller need combined with the Inspector's finding that all outstanding policy criteria (character, access, drainage, ecology, biodiversity net gain) could be satisfactorily met or secured by planning conditions.
