- whether any benefits of the proposal, including heritage benefits, outweigh the identified harm
What decided it
The considerable weight attached to the harm from the loss of three dwellings, in the context of the Council's housing land supply shortfall and national policy commitment to boosting housing supply, outweighed the significant heritage benefits of the proposal.
