highway safety with regards to access

What decided it

The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply, combined with the substantial weight attributed to housing delivery including affordable housing provision, outweighed the moderate harm to character and appearance.

The moderate adverse impacts on character and appearance did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the substantial benefits of housing delivery, including affordable housing, in the context of a five-year housing land supply shortfall, tipping the balance in favour of the presumption in favour of sustainable development.
