“accessibility to local services”

Summary

Two conjoined appeals for Traveller family pitches (a static home and a touring caravan each) on sub-divided plots off a rural lane well away from Winterton. Plot 13 was already partly occupied. Both dismissed. With little evidence of unmet Traveller need, the proposals did not fall within S5(1)(g). They were treated as isolated homes under S5(3)/HO11, and no exceptional circumstances were shown under S5(4). Surface water drainage and statutory BNG failures added significant weight.
