Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and relevant development plan policies
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location having regard to the local development strategy
What decided it
The proposal's location on previously developed land combined with its modest contribution to housing supply, when balanced against the limited disbenefits of the site's location under Policy S5, outweighed the sustainability concerns.
