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
What decided it
The site's location adjoining established residential development and a housing site under construction, combined with its sustainable location as a rural service centre and the Council's inability to demonstrate five-year housing land supply, justified allowing the appeal.
the modest contribution to housing supply and sustainable location outweighed concerns about countryside character, with ecological mitigation secured through a unilateral undertaking
