Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the stock and quality of employment floorspace in the Borough
  • the effect of the proposal on the provision of housing in the Borough
  • whether or not an affordable housing contribution is necessary to make the proposed development acceptable in planning terms

What decided it

The proposal would not result in a net loss of employment or housing floorspace, and the submitted viability assessment demonstrated that an affordable housing contribution was unviable.

Plan policies cited: Policy E1, Policy E2, Policy H8, Policy LP13, Policy LP24, Policy LP26, Policy LP27
