Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the obligation continues to serve a useful purpose and would continue to serve that purpose equally well if it had effect subject to the modifications specified in the application
What decided it
The deed of modification failed to include appropriate mechanisms to secure First Homes as affordable housing in perpetuity, particularly a charge on title documents, meaning it could not serve the purpose of the original obligation equally well.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS21
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
