Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether or not the appeal site would provide acceptable living conditions for future residents with particular regards to noise from the nearby A1 road.
Whether or not the appeal scheme makes appropriate provision for healthcare contributions.

What decided it

The demonstrated absence of a five-year supply of gypsy and traveller sites, combined with the appellant's robust 2024 noise assessment showing acceptable living conditions could be secured by condition, led to the appeal being allowed.

The absence of a five-year supply of gypsy and traveller sites outweighed the conflict with Policy SP5's restriction on countryside development, and as no other harm was identified, the appeal was allowed.
