Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is an appropriate location for the development, having regard to local and national policies concerning development in the countryside and access to services and transport
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether any harm arising from the above matters is outweighed by any other material considerations, including the personal circumstances of the appellant and their family
What decided it
The appeal site is an inappropriate location for development in the countryside lacking connectivity to services and sustainable transport, and there is no demonstrated need for additional gypsy and traveller pitches in the district.
