Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be in an appropriate location, with specific regard to the development strategy and the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposed development would provide an appropriate housing mix for the area
What decided it
The proposal's location immediately adjacent to a sustainable settlement, combined with its consistency with the updated Interim Policy Guidance 2015 and Framework paragraph 79 on rural housing, outweighed the breach of Policy CP4, and the ability to secure appropriate housing mix through reserved matters conditions resolved the housing mix concern.

- Development plan policies
- Policy CP4Policy CP1Policy CP2Policy CP16Policy CP8Policy DP10Policy DP30Policy DP32Policy DP13
- National Planning Policy Framework

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
