Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of local residents, with specific regard to demand for parking
- whether the proposed development would make appropriate provision for affordable housing
What decided it
The proposal's failure to make appropriate provision for affordable housing, combined with the unresolved parking stress issue, meant that the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the housing benefits under the tilted balance.
the adverse impact of the failure to provide affordable housing (substantial weight) and parking stress (significant concern) significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited benefits of housing delivery and economic/social benefits during construction and occupation (limited to moderate weight at best)
