Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether affordable housing planning obligations are necessary and have been suitably provided
  • the effect of the proposal on parking and highway safety
  • the effect on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposal's failure to provide policy-compliant affordable housing and the minimum necessary parking provision, which together created unacceptable conflicts with the development plan that could not be outweighed by its acceptable design.

The acceptable character and appearance impact did not outweigh the conflicts with the development plan in relation to affordable housing and parking and highway safety.
