Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the site is suitable for residential development, having regard to its location, the proposed land use and the amount of development
whether the appeal site is grey belt and whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies
whether the site would be accessible to services and facilities

What decided it

The appeal site qualifies as grey belt land and the proposal meets all criteria under paragraph 155 of the Framework, particularly the availability of the train station as a sustainable transport link to services and facilities, meaning the development is not inappropriate in the Green Belt.
