Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would deliver the required amount of affordable housing, having regard to the viability of the proposal
  • whether the proposal would deliver the appropriate mix of dwellings on the site
  • whether the proposal would optimise the use of the site and therefore make efficient use of land

What decided it

The proposal was found to accord with the development plan as a whole (on affordable housing viability, housing mix under the newer London Plan policy, and site density/optimisation), and no material considerations indicated the appeal should be decided otherwise.

the proposal accords with the development plan as a whole and no material considerations were sufficient to indicate the appeal should be decided other than in accordance with the development plan
