PPS 23 Enabling Development for the Conservation of Significant Places·Page 9·1.3
Justification for Enabling Development
Enabling development may be permitted when it produces overriding public benefit by allowing implementation of the principal proposal, which would otherwise be unlikely to proceed.
The justification for allowing the enabling development lies in the over-riding public benefit to be derived from the implementation of the principal proposal which otherwise would have little prospect of being carried out.
