Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the grade II listed building 143 and 145 Albion Road
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, having particular regard to noise from the proposed air source heat pump and to sunlight
  • The absence of a legal agreement to secure planning obligations in respect to affordable housing, car-free housing and the Carbon Offset Fund

What decided it

The absence of a legal agreement to secure planning obligations for affordable housing, car-free housing and the Carbon Offset Fund, which the Inspector found necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms.
