Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposed development would accord with the Council's development plan strategy for affordable housing, including the viability and deliverability of the scheme
What decided it
The Inspector concluded that the proposed building's height and massing would not harm the character and appearance of the area, and that the scheme's inability to viably provide affordable housing did not conflict with the Council's affordable housing policies, so no conflict with the development plan was found.
