Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether or not the proposal would make appropriate provision for affordable housing
  • the effect of the proposal on local infrastructure in respect of health services and sport and leisure
  • the effect of the proposal on highway safety and convenience with particular regard to on-street parking

What decided it

The viability evidence demonstrated that no affordable housing could be delivered, and the Council failed to provide sufficient evidence that the requested infrastructure contributions were necessary, directly related, and proportionate to the development.
