Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would represent piecemeal development, with particular regard to successful placemaking and making optimum use of the site
  • Whether the proposed development would make an appropriate affordable housing provision

What decided it

The failure to make any provision for affordable housing, combined with the piecemeal approach to development, meant the proposal conflicted with the development plan in a way that could not be outweighed by the housing benefits and fallback position.

Framework references: 64

Plan policies cited: Policy S1, Policy H2, Policy D3, Policy H4
