What decided it
The Council's failure to demonstrate a 5-year housing land supply triggered the tilted balance under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework, and the substantial benefits of housing delivery outweighed the absence of any significant adverse impacts.
The Council's considerable housing land supply shortfall meant the benefits of housing delivery carried substantial weight; the proposal's contribution to addressing the shortfall, economic benefits during construction, and support for local services and facilities attracted substantial weight; no adverse impacts were identified that would significantly and demonstrably outweigh these benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
