Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed development, having particular regard to development plan policies which seek to control new housing in the countryside

What decided it
The site meets the definition of 'rounding off' under Local Plan Policy 3 as it is substantially enclosed by clear physical barriers and would not visually extend building into the open countryside, making it a suitable location for the proposed development.
