What decided it
The less-than-substantial harm to the significance of the South Croxton Conservation Area, given great weight under the Framework, outweighs the public benefits of self-build housing supply and economic contributions.
The less-than-substantial harm to the conservation area, given great weight, outweighed the social and economic benefits of self-build housing delivery and local economic contribution, which were moderated by the site's unsustainable location.
