What decided it
The site's location adjacent to the main built-up area of Glewstone, an identified settlement where proportionate housing growth is appropriate, combined with the absence of harm to the AONB character and the availability of mitigation for the SAC, meant the proposal accorded with the development plan and national strategy.
