What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply triggered the presumption in favour of sustainable development under paragraph 11d) of the Framework, and the clear benefits of the proposed development, including housing contribution and site transformation, outweighed the conflict with the development plan.
The conflict with the development plan arising from the open countryside location was outweighed by the benefits of high design quality, effective use of land, transformation of an unattractive disused site, and contribution to housing supply, with the presumption in favour of sustainable development applying under paragraph 11d) of the Framework.
