What decided it
The shortfall in the five-year housing land supply (2.94 years) engaged the tilted balance under Framework paragraph 11(d), and the substantial weight afforded to housing delivery and economic benefits was not significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the moderate harm from conflict with development plan policies on sustainable location.
The substantial weight given to housing delivery and economic benefits arising from the proposal was not significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the moderate harm from conflict with Policies SS1 and SS6 and the Framework's aim of promoting sustainable patterns of development
Framework references: 11, 82, 83, 110
