What decided it
The shortfall in housing land supply (3.9 years against a 5-year requirement) triggered the tilted balance under NPPF paragraph 11d, and the limited on-the-ground harm from the conflict with the spatial strategy and character policies did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the housing benefits.
The benefits of 3-5 new homes and economic support (moderate weight) were weighed against considerable weight given to the conflict with development plan policies on spatial strategy and character; however, the limited on-the-ground harm from the conflict did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole, and the development represents sustainable development.
