Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development would make adequate provision for affordable housing

What decided it

The agreed viability evidence supporting a £280,000 affordable housing contribution, secured by unilateral undertaking, satisfied the Inspector that the development made adequate provision for affordable housing.

The social and economic benefits of increased housing delivery, including affordable housing, and improved social club facilities were sufficient to outweigh any loss of significance to the non-designated heritage asset.
