Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal site is in a suitable location for housing having regard to policies for development in the countryside
What decided it

The modest harm to the countryside and conflict with development plan policies outweighed the minor benefits from housing supply contribution and proximity to local facilities and transport links
