Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework 2024 and relevant development plan policies
The effect of the proposal on the openness and purposes of the Green Belt
The effect of the proposal on the rural character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year supply of housing land engaged paragraph 11(d) of the Framework, and the limited harm to rural character was substantially outweighed by the significant lack of housing land supply.

Given the limited harm to the rural appearance of the area and the significant lack in the five year supply of housing land, the benefits clearly outweigh the harm.
