Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development could make provision for a contribution to social rented and intermediate housing
What decided it
The failure to provide any contribution to affordable housing when the need for such units is so great carries considerable weight that outweighs the benefits of delivering one additional dwelling when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The benefits of housing delivery and effective use of airspace above existing residential premises were given substantial weight, but the failure to provide any contribution to affordable housing when need is identified carried considerable weight and significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
