Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the loss of a non-designated heritage asset (Victorian villa) would be outweighed by public benefits, particularly affordable housing provision
- Whether the proposed development provides 35% affordable housing and intermediate homes or an equivalent financial contribution in accordance with Policy P1
What decided it
The inadequacies in the terms of the Unilateral Undertaking meant the late-stage review mechanism could not be properly secured, leaving the heritage harm from loss of the Victorian villa uncompensated by deliverable public benefits.
