- Procedure
- Written Representations
- Development
- caravan-gypsy · Change of use
- Inspector
- Hendley D
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development accords with the spatial development strategy for the area by way of development in the countryside
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area
- If harm arises, whether this is outweighed by the circumstances of the appellant
What decided it
The personal circumstances of providing essential healthcare assistance to an elderly relative, combined with the temporary nature of the development and the commitment to remove it and restore the land once no longer required, outweighed the conflicts with the spatial strategy and limited character and appearance harm.
