- Jones RE
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal makes adequate provision toward infrastructure, with particular reference to affordable housing
- The effect of the proposal on future development opportunities at adjacent sites
- Whether future occupiers would be likely to experience acceptable living conditions with particular reference to outlook, odours and noise and disturbance
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of No 1 Cambridge Grove with particular reference to privacy
- Whether the proposed cycle storage arrangements comply with local policy and guidance
- Whether the proposed waste storage arrangements comply with local policy and guidance
What decided it
The detailed and well-evidenced updated viability position demonstrating the scheme was unviable for affordable housing provision, which the Council did not adequately challenge, combined with the absence of any clear evidence that the proposal would harm regeneration of neighbouring sites or future residents' living conditions.
