What decided it
The limited noise-related harm did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of the proposal when assessed against the tilted balance under NPPF paragraph 11.
the small benefits of housing supply and providing a home outweighed the limited adverse noise impacts, so the proposal benefited from the presumption in favour of sustainable development
