Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the suitability of the location of the appeal site for housing
- whether the proposal makes suitable provision for affordable housing, infrastructure, services and community facilities which are necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms
What decided it

The benefits of housing and affordable housing delivery, sustainability improvements and effective brownfield land use were found to accord with, and be supported by, the development plan and the Framework, with no identified harm requiring to be weighed against them.
