Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would comprise car-free development that would encourage walking, cycling and the use of public transport
- Whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers
What decided it
The absence of a completed Section 106 planning obligation to secure car-free development status meant the proposal conflicted with sustainable transport policies, and this conflict outweighed the housing benefits under the tilted balance.
the modest contribution to housing mix and good public transport accessibility were outweighed by the conflict with car-free development requirements in the absence of a planning obligation
