What decided it
The benefits of housing delivery and support for rural community vitality, when taken together with compliance with the Framework as a whole, justified determination otherwise than in accordance with the development plan despite the policy conflict with the settlement strategy.
The conflict with the development plan settlement strategy was outweighed by the benefits of housing delivery, accessibility to services within the settlement, economic benefits during construction and occupation, and the Framework's aim to significantly boost housing supply and enhance or maintain the vitality of rural communities.
