What decided it
The provision of five dwellings to address the Council's demonstrated lack of five-year housing land supply, combined with the social and economic benefits of construction and occupation, outweighed the less than substantial harm to the conservation area from the loss of the brick stable building.
The less than substantial harm to the significance of the Oxted Conservation Area from the demolition of the brick stable building was outweighed by the significant benefits of providing five dwellings to the District's housing supply and the moderate social and economic benefits resulting from construction and occupation.
