Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The proposed dwelling's positioning and layout would continue the existing built frontage on Village Street without extending development beyond the existing built form, and the site's separation from the village green and screening by hedgerows mean the development would not harm the character and appearance of the area.
