Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the appeal site is a suitable location for the development proposed
- Whether or not the proposal would deliver sufficient affordable housing in an area of need
What decided it
The proposal's location substantially outside the development boundary and allocated site, combined with its failure to deliver the required 25% affordable housing, conflicts with the development plan in a way that the need for elderly-appropriate accommodation does not outweigh.
The need for elderly-appropriate accommodation and the high housing land supply were weighed against the significant conflict with the development plan regarding location and affordable housing; the conflict with the development plan was decisive and not outweighed by the material considerations in favour
