Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of removing or varying the condition on the provision of accessible housing
What decided it
The conflict with development plan policies requiring accessible housing provision outweighs the benefits of housing delivery where the local planning authority cannot demonstrate a five-year housing supply.
The benefits of housing delivery on previously developed land and contribution to housing numbers were outweighed by the adverse impacts of failing to provide accessible housing as required by the development plan and the Framework
Framework references: 11
Plan policies cited: Policy D7 of the London Plan (2021), Policy 7 of the Havering Local Plan (2021)
