Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would make an appropriate contribution to affordable housing

What decided it

The appeal site should not be treated as an additional phase of the Autumn Gate development, therefore the proposal does not trigger an affordable housing requirement under Policy AH SP2.

The benefits of housing delivery and compliance with the presumption in favour of sustainable development outweighed the concerns of local residents regarding loss of open space and change in outlook, with no other adverse impacts identified.
