What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply triggered the presumption in favour of sustainable development, and as no clear reasons for refusal were found in the Framework's protective policies, the appeal succeeded.
The presumption in favour of sustainable development arising from the lack of a five-year housing land supply weighed in favour of the development, and no adverse impacts of granting planning permission were found to outweigh this benefit.
