Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed housing, with regard to access to essential services and facilities
- Whether it has been demonstrated that the proposal would secure the provision of an off-site affordable housing contribution
What decided it
The proposal's failure to demonstrate that the site would be a suitable location with regard to access to essential services and facilities, combined with the inability to secure an off-site affordable housing contribution, resulted in adverse impacts that significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing benefits, even under the tilted balance.
The modest benefits of two dwellings contributing to housing supply and local economic activity were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the harm arising from the unsustainable location lacking access to essential services and facilities and the failure to secure affordable housing provision.
