What decided it
The substantial public benefits of housing delivery (including affordable housing) and brownfield regeneration were found to outweigh the less than substantial harm to designated heritage assets and other identified conflicts with the development plan.
The public benefits of the scheme, including substantial weight for brownfield regeneration and delivery of up to 2,150 homes (750 affordable), were found to outweigh the great weight given to less than substantial harm to numerous designated heritage assets and moderate harm to character and appearance, resulting in permission being granted despite conflict with the development plan.
