Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the requested section 106 financial contribution towards health care provision is necessary to make the development acceptable
What decided it
The contribution towards Wye Valley NHS Trust healthcare provision was necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms because without it there would be an unacceptable strain on healthcare services arising from the population increase, and the Inspector applied the reasoning from the Secretary of State's decision on the comparable Ledbury appeal.
The Inspector balanced the appellants' concerns about the necessity of the healthcare contribution against the Council's and NHS Trust's evidence of cumulative impacts on healthcare delivery from the proposed development and other developments in combination, finding that the contribution was justified and should be secured.
