Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development would comply with the development plan and if so, do any material considerations indicate that the appeal should be dismissed.

What decided it

The agreed viability evidence showing the scheme could not support affordable housing or further contributions without becoming unviable, combined with the very substantial regenerative benefits of bringing the contaminated brownfield site into use, outweighed the limited identified harms.

The very significant regenerative, housing delivery, flood alleviation, ecological, visual amenity and economic benefits of bringing a contaminated brownfield site into use outweighed the limited harm arising from the non-provision of affordable housing and a library contribution.
