Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

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

What decided it

The development introduces harmful additional mass and built form to the landscape, reducing the open rural character of the area, and this harm is not outweighed by the temporary nature of the use or minor operational benefits to the caravan park business.
