What decided it
The housing land supply shortfall (4.23 years) engages Policy ST21, which permits development outside defined settlements, and the substantial public benefits of housing delivery outweigh the less than substantial harm to the heritage setting.
The less than substantial harm to the setting of the listed Church of St Augustine, outweighed by the public benefits associated with the delivery of housing in light of the housing land supply situation, which are of very substantial weight
Plan policies cited: Policy ST09, Policy DM08A, Policy DM02, Policy ST07, Policy ST21, Policy DM08
