Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would deliver a balanced community
- the effect of the proposed development on business and employment opportunities in the area
- other material considerations
What decided it
The absence of any identified harm across all the main and other issues meant nothing existed to outweigh the significant housing, social, economic and environmental benefits under the tilted balance.
No adverse impacts were found to significantly and demonstrably outweigh the cumulative benefits of housing delivery, affordable housing, economic and environmental gains, so the tilted balance favoured granting permission.
