What decided it
The loss of an existing residential unit in a context of significant housing undersupply and the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply means the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the Framework.
the adverse impacts through the loss of an existing residential unit, assessed against the Framework's objective to boost housing supply and the Council's housing land supply position, significantly and demonstrably outweigh the limited benefits, so the presumption in favour of sustainable development does not apply
