What decided it
The significant benefits of housing and affordable housing delivery, weighed under the tilted balance due to the lack of a five year housing land supply, outweighed the modest harm to countryside character and minor heritage harm identified.
The significant benefits of housing delivery (including affordable housing) and other benefits outweighed the modest harm to countryside character and the minor less-than-substantial heritage harm, such that adverse impacts did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework.
