Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not there is a need for the supported living accommodation
- Whether or not the proposal provides adequate information to assess the impact of the development on occupiers and the capacity of health services
What decided it
The combination of policy support for C2 bedspaces under Plan:MK, evidence of need from the SHMA, the modest scale of the proposal, and the absence of evidence that the development would unacceptably affect health service capacity or local amenities justified allowing the appeal.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DS2 of Plan:MK (2019)Policy HN3 of Plan:MK (2019)Policy EH6 of Plan:MK (2019)Part d) of Design Policy 1 of the Campbell Park Neighbourhood Plan (2018)
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
