What decided it
The significant housing land supply shortfall and the delivery of 34 dwellings including 35% affordable housing, assessed under the tilted balance, outweigh the conflict with the safeguarding policy.
The benefits of housing delivery (significant weight) and affordable housing provision (significant weight), together with modest economic benefits (moderate weight) and limited biodiversity net gain (limited weight), significantly and demonstrably outweigh the harm from conflict with LP Policy BNE3 when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
