- Whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt

What decided it
The appeal site's location as limited infilling within a Local Service Village in the Green Belt, combined with the single storey design being compatible with surrounding character and the absence of harm to trees, highway safety, or neighbouring living conditions, meant the development accorded with the development plan and should be allowed.
