Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether a financial contribution towards affordable housing provision is necessary to make the proposal acceptable
What decided it
The appellants' failure to provide corroborative evidence from the Council's consultant that a financial contribution towards affordable housing was unnecessary meant the appeal could not be allowed.
The benefits of providing a new 3 bedroom dwelling and economic benefits during construction were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the substantial harm caused by the absence of a contribution towards affordable housing in a Borough with acute need and supply largely dependent on small sites
