Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether it has been demonstrated that the proposal would have an acceptable effect on healthcare infrastructure
- whether the site is a suitable location for the proposed use
- whether the Unilateral Undertaking and the obligations therein are necessary to make the development acceptable in planning terms, directly related to the development and are fairly related in scale and kind
What decided it
The Council's withdrawal of all reasons for refusal, combined with the acceptability of the on-site clinical surgery facility to address healthcare infrastructure impacts and the site's compliance with development plan policies supporting residential and mixed-use development in the town centre.
