Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would provide an acceptable level of affordable housing provision
  • the effect of the proposal on The Wealden Heaths Phase II Special Protection Area

What decided it

The proposal was found to accord with the development plan as a whole, with the previously contentious affordable housing provision justified by an agreed viability appraisal and the SPA impacts satisfactorily mitigated by planning obligation.

the proposal accords with the development plan taken as a whole and material considerations do not indicate otherwise, so the appeal should be allowed
