Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would represent a suitable location for housing

What decided it
The proposal's location outside the development limits in the countryside and its unacceptable effect on character and appearance were decisive and outweighed the housing and economic benefits.
The benefits of housing delivery, community support and economic benefits were outweighed by the conflict with development plan policy regarding location and the unacceptable harm to character and appearance of the area.
