Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the location, the proposed land use and the amount of development is suitable, having particular regard to (a) policies relating to the development strategy for the area and the countryside, and (b) the effect on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The appeal site, although designated countryside, is located within a section of Mains Lane characterised by regular and mostly continuous residential development, and the proposed two dwellings would constitute minor infill development that would not appear as an incursion into open countryside or significantly erode openness or rural character.
