Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether or not the contributions sought are reasonable and necessary to make the proposed development acceptable

What decided it

The absence of a planning obligation to secure the contributions required by the new Local Plan policies (SP15, SP22, LP30, LP48, LP56 and HS46) to make the development acceptable.

the undoubted benefit from the delivery of housing on an allocated site quickly after the adoption of the Local Plan would not outweigh the harms that would arise from the development failing to make the contributions necessary to meet the demands that would arise from it
