What decided it
The inability of the local planning authority to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply, combined with the very limited harm to the ASHLI and its setting, meant that the housing benefits significantly and demonstrably outweighed the identified harms when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole.
the very limited adverse impact on the ASHLI and its setting, including associated conflict with out-of-date development plan policies, was significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the identified benefits of housing provision when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole
