Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether there is a need for additional Gypsy and Traveller pitches
  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the landscape

What decided it

the Council's inability to demonstrate a 5-year supply of deliverable Gypsy and Traveller pitches, which engaged the presumption in favour of granting permission under NPPF paragraph 11(d)(ii)

the significant benefits of addressing the unmet need for Gypsy and Traveller pitches, together with social and minor economic benefits, outweighed the moderate harm to the character and appearance of the landscape and the very limited weight attached to intentional unauthorised development
