Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether or not the proposed development would be likely to increase the risk of flooding in the area
  • Whether or not the proposed development makes adequate provision for green infrastructure

What decided it

The substantial unmet need for affordable housing in the borough and Fleetwood, combined with the scheme's viability dependent on 44 dwellings and the site's allocation for housing in the development plan, outweighed the concerns raised and justified the approval.

The benefits of delivering 44 affordable housing units in an area of substantial unmet need, in a location allocated for housing in the development plan, outweighed the concerns regarding character, flood risk and green infrastructure provision, which were satisfactorily addressed through the design, drainage strategy and off-site contributions.
