Whiteparish Gypsy caravan to remain (From Salisbury Journal): "A GYPSY caravan that has stirred up huge controversy in Whiteparish is to remain where it is after a planning inspector overturned a council decision to refuse planning permission.
The inspector’s report said: “The harm to the area’s character and appearance should not be perpetuated longer than is necessary and I consider that a temporary planning permission for a period of three years is appropriate and reasonable in the circumstances.”
The council had been advised by planning officers to approve the application in line with government guidance issued in a 2006 circular that more Gypsy and traveller sites are needed and local planning authorities should be flexible about where they are provided.
But refused it on the grounds that the guidance should not override planning policy and objections raised by health and safety and highways officers.
