What decided it
The absence of a five-year housing land supply and the application of the tilted balance under NPPF paragraph 11 meant that the public benefit of providing an additional dwelling to the local housing stock outweighed the limited to modest harms identified.
The limited to modest harms arising from conflicts with the development plan (character and appearance, living conditions, parking) were outweighed by the benefit of providing an additional dwelling to the local housing stock and related economic opportunities, assessed against the Framework taken as a whole under the tilted balance.
