Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether or not the proposal makes adequate provision for affordable housing

What decided it

The cascade approach to affordable housing provision, which secures either on-site affordable units or a financial contribution of up to £202,326, was found to make adequate provision for affordable housing in accordance with Policy CN1 and the NPPF.

The proposal's benefits in delivering housing and affordable housing provision outweighed any concerns about the location within the Detailed Emergency Planning Zone, with appropriate emergency planning conditions imposed to manage public safety.
