Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the site is in a suitable location for housing having regard to local policies
The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
Whether the proposal makes appropriate provision for a new footway to the site frontage
Whether the proposal makes appropriate provision for financial contributions towards community facilities and infrastructure

What decided it

The site's location substantially enclosed by existing built development, combined with the Local Plan's explicit support for small-scale housing at smaller villages and the ability to secure the footpath by condition rather than obligation, outweighed the Council's concerns about accessibility and infrastructure contributions.
