- whether the development proposed would provide an acceptable standard of living conditions for future occupiers, with particular reference to outdoor amenity space
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply triggered the tilted balance under paragraph 11 of the Framework, and the moderate benefit of contributing one additional home to the Borough's housing stock, combined with the absence of any identified adverse impacts, justified granting permission.
The benefit of contributing one additional home to the Borough's housing stock (moderate weight) and the provisions of paragraph 11 of the Framework outweighed the absence of any identified adverse impacts.
