Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposal would harm the character and appearance of the area
- Whether or not the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants with regard to privacy
- Whether or not the proposal has made adequate provision for affordable housing
What decided it
The proposal has not made adequate provision for affordable housing contrary to Policy SWDP 15, and the adverse impacts of granting permission would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
The moderate weight afforded to the benefits of housing delivery, self-build provision, and economic benefits was significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant weight afforded to the harm resulting from the failure to make adequate provision for affordable housing.
