Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, including landscape character
- the effect of the development upon highway network
- whether or not sufficient affordable housing would be provided
What decided it
The proposal's compliance with the most up-to-date development plan policies (London Plan 2021) on character and appearance, highway safety, and affordable housing, combined with the legal agreement securing the necessary affordable housing quantum, justified allowing the appeal.
The benefits of residential development and regeneration of the site, combined with the provision of 35% affordable housing and a ground floor drinking establishment to replace the lost public house use, outweighed any concerns about the scale and massing of the development.
