What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year supply of deliverable housing sites (2.7 years) engaged the tilted balance under NPPF paragraph 11(d)(ii), and the identified benefits of housing delivery were not outweighed by any adverse impacts when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
Under NPPF paragraph 11(d)(ii), the benefits of housing delivery (including contribution to housing land supply shortfall, economic benefits during construction, and social benefits from future occupiers) were not outweighed by any adverse impacts when assessed against the policies of the Framework taken as a whole.
