Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the condition requiring provision of four affordable dwellings is reasonable or necessary in the interests of the provision of affordable housing
What decided it
The robust viability appraisal demonstrating that the affordable housing requirement would render the development unviable, accepted by the Council's own consultants, justified removal of the affordable housing element from condition 18.
