What decided it
The substantial and wide-ranging public benefits of the scheme—including housing and affordable housing delivery, a much-needed secondary school, employment provision and optimum viable use of a brownfield site—outweighed the less-than-substantial heritage harm and other limited harms identified.
The substantial benefits of housing, affordable housing, education, employment, design and brownfield redevelopment outweighed the less than substantial heritage harm and other limited/moderate harms, such that the adverse impacts of granting permission did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole, and the proposals accorded with the development plan as a whole.
