"Circular 01/06 advises that new gypsy and traveller sites in the green belt are normally inappropriate development as defined in PPG2. The parties do not dispute this. Consequently the main issue is whether harm through inappropriateness, together with other harm caused, is clearly outweighed by other considerations such that very special circumstances exist to justify the grant of planning permission."
