Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area also having regard to the setting of a Scheduled Ancient Monument, the Haughton decoy and motte and bailey castle
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety
- whether there are other considerations weighing in favour of the proposed development
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Scheduled Ancient Monument and the harm to the character and appearance of the area were not outweighed by the public benefits, including the need for Gypsy and Traveller pitches and the personal circumstances of the prospective occupiers.
the less than substantial harm to the SAM's significance and the harm to character and appearance, together with conflict with the development plan as a whole, were not outweighed by the public benefits including the need for pitches, lack of alternative accommodation and the personal circumstances of the occupiers including the best interests of the children
