What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year supply of deliverable housing sites engaged the tilted balance under NPPF paragraph 11d, and the positive contribution to housing supply outweighed the conflict with the development plan policies.
The proposal's positive contribution to housing supply and accordance with emerging policy outweighed the conflict with the development plan taken as a whole, as the adverse impacts would not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the policies of the Framework taken as a whole
Framework references: 11, 14
