Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The proposal would result in appreciable harm to the character and appearance of the area by introducing intensive, regimented camping infrastructure that would appear stark and over-dominant in the rural landscape, conflicting with development plan policies requiring sensitivity to local character and protection of the countryside.
