Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the supply of housing in the Borough, including affordable housing
What decided it
The net loss of one residential unit in conflict with Policy LP38, which requires retention of existing housing, could not be justified by the limited environmental and street scene benefits proposed, particularly given the absence of a Council-commissioned viability assessment to support the affordable housing exemption claim.
Plan policies cited: Policy LP38, Policy LP36, Paragraph 9.5.6
