Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed size of the one- and two-bedroom affordable units on the living conditions of future occupiers
What decided it
The proposed one- and two-bedroom affordable units would be of insufficient size to satisfactorily accommodate occupiers' furniture and storage needs with suitable circulation space, resulting in substantial harm to living conditions that outweighs the benefits of housing delivery.
the benefits of delivering 100 homes and substantial affordable housing in a sustainable location were outweighed by the substantial harm to the living conditions of future occupiers through unsatisfactory accommodation size
