Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the submitted S106 Agreement makes appropriate provision for contributions towards local education facilities, Herefordshire and Worcestershire Clinical Commissioning Group, local transport infrastructure, built sports facilities, affordable housing, and the delivery and management of open space
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply, combined with the revised scheme's compliance with development plan policies and the S106 Agreement's satisfaction of all infrastructure and affordable housing requirements, justified allowing the appeal.
The benefits of housing delivery in the context of a shortfall in five-year housing land supply outweighed any other considerations, particularly given the revised scheme's accordance with the development plan and comprehensive S106 obligations.
