What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing supply, combined with the absence of any identified adverse impacts that would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the housing delivery benefits, triggered the presumption in favour of sustainable development under Paragraph 11d) of the Framework.
The conflict with the out-of-date development plan policies was outweighed by the significant housing supply shortfall and the positive benefits of delivering two dwellings with associated social and economic benefits, with no identified adverse impacts of significant and demonstrable weight
