Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the proposed development should make provision for affordable housing

What decided it

The proposal's failure to make appropriate provision for affordable housing in breach of London Plan policy H5, Harrow Core Strategy policy CS1(J) and policy DM50, which the Inspector found the appellant had not adequately demonstrated was unviable.

The high-quality design and other planning benefits of the proposal were outweighed by its failure to make appropriate provision for affordable housing as required by the development plan

Plan policies cited: London Plan policy H4, London Plan policy H5, Harrow Core Strategy policy CS1(J), Harrow Development Management Policies Local Plan policy DM50
