Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the use is appropriate in the countryside when judged against the policies of the development plan
the effect of the static caravan and mobile caravan and their siting on the character and appearance of the surrounding landscape
whether there is adequate provision for foul water treatment and disposal

What decided it

The siting of the caravans for temporary shelter and storage purposes is contrary to Policy GSP1 and harmful to the character and appearance of the surrounding Hobland Settled Farmland landscape, and this conflict with the development plan cannot be justified even for a temporary period.
