Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposal on the supply of employment space in the borough
- whether the proposal would make an acceptable contribution towards the supply of affordable housing in the borough
What decided it
The proposal's conflict with the Local Plan's aim to protect employment floorspace within Priority Industrial Areas, combined with the failure to secure an acceptable affordable housing contribution, renders the development unacceptable.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- LP26LP28LP13E7 of the London Plan (2021)
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.
