Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the Isle of Wight National Landscape
whether the location is suitable for the development having regard to the local development strategy

What decided it

The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year supply of deliverable housing sites, combined with the identified local need for two and three-bedroom dwellings and the absence of harm to the National Landscape character, made the location suitable for the proposed development.

The benefits of delivering housing to meet identified local need and boost housing supply, in a location where the Council cannot demonstrate a five-year supply, outweighed any concerns about the development's location on greenfield land adjacent to the settlement boundary, given that no harm to the National Landscape character would result.
