- Whether having regard to the Supplemental Statement of Common Ground, there are material considerations that would justify dismissing the appeal
What decided it
The significant shortfall in housing land supply and the material contribution the proposal would make to meeting local housing needs, combined with the absence of any adverse impacts that would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The benefits of housing delivery (significant weight) and affordable housing provision, together with economic benefits (moderate weight) and limited biodiversity value enhancement (limited weight), significantly and demonstrably outweighed the harm arising from conflict with LP Policy BNE3 when assessed against the policies of the Framework as a whole under the tilted balance.
