Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on accessibility, highways and parking conditions in the area
  • the effect of the proposal on the historic environment
  • whether or not the proposal would provide an appropriate mix of housing types and tenures

What decided it

The Inspector's overall finding that the proposal accorded with the development plan as a whole, because conflicts with older, less up-to-date policies were outweighed by compliance with more recent London Plan policies on transport, housing and heritage.

the low level of harm to the non-designated Arnos Park and conflicts with certain older local policies were outweighed by the enhancement of the setting of the Grade II* listed station, significant housing and affordable housing delivery, and compliance with more up-to-date London Plan policies, resulting in overall accordance with the development plan as a whole
