Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide an appropriate level of affordable housing and mix of unit types having regard to the requirements of the development plan
- The effect of the proposed development on the safe operation of the highway in the vicinity of the appeal site with particular regard to car parking
What decided it
The proposal's failure to provide the tenure split and range of unit sizes required by the development plan's affordable housing policies, causing conflict with the development plan as a whole.
the benefit of providing 100% affordable housing exceeding policy thresholds weighed in favour of the proposal but did not outweigh the conflict with development plan policies on tenure split and unit mix, so the proposal conflicted with the development plan as a whole and was dismissed
