Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would make adequate provision for affordable housing and any other necessary infrastructure requirements arising from the development
What decided it
The appellant's withdrawal of the £75,000 affordable housing contribution offer, combined with the failure to secure healthcare and highway contributions and the absence of a planning obligation for infrastructure management, meant the development could not make adequate provision for affordable housing and other necessary infrastructure.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Strategic Policy 1 (A Sustainable Pattern of Places)Strategic Policy 7 (Affordable and Low Cost Housing)
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.
