Despite enforcement notices being served on a site where planning permission for a gypsy caravan park had been refused, development continued. Appeals were made against the decision, but eventually a HC injunction was made granting the removal of all the occupants of the site. This injunction was delayed until this appeal was heard. Objection to the site was made on three points, crime, the shift from an authorised to unauthorised site, and competition for local work. The court found that evidence of these problems was not sufficient to establish real concern, and the matter was sent back to the SOS or reconsideration.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
