What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five year housing land supply engaged the tilted balance under NPPF paragraph 11 d), and the benefits of housing delivery were not significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the identified harms.
the significant benefit of housing delivery (including affordable housing), together with modest benefits from biodiversity net gain, sustainable location and limited weight economic benefits, outweighed the harm from conflict with the development plan, limited landscape/visual harm and limited weight loss of best and most versatile agricultural land, so that adverse impacts did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits
