What decided it

The Council could not demonstrate a five-year housing land supply, engaging the presumption in favour of sustainable development, and the limited adverse impacts did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of the scheme.

the benefits of delivering five net-additional housing units were not significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the limited adverse impacts (conflict with Policy EN8 without associated harm to character or appearance), so the presumption in favour of sustainable development applied and the appeal was allowed
