Authority: North Warwickshire
Appeal type: Planning
Procedure: Hearing
Development: caravan-gypsy
Postcode: CV9 3EJ

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

Framework references: 11, 187

Plan policies cited: Policy LP5, Policy LP1, Policy LP14, Policy LP29, Policy LP30

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
