Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the site is suitable having regard to its location, proposed land use and amount of development; with particular regard to the Green Belt, access to services and facilities, and the risk of flooding

What decided it

The site meets all criteria under Policy GB7(g) of the Framework, particularly the demonstration of unmet housing need and a sustainable location with adequate accessibility to services and facilities, such that the proposal is not inappropriate development in the Green Belt and the benefits of approval are not substantially outweighed by any adverse effects.

The benefits of approving the proposal, including the social and economic benefits arising during construction and subsequent occupation in proximity to services and facilities and in light of the housing need in the area, are not outweighed by any adverse effects.
