Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the number of dwellings, the density, layout, mix and overall design of the scheme would result in an overdevelopment of the site. As such, for this main issue the question is whether the proposed development would respect the context and character of the area.
- Whether the provision of no affordable housing is justified on viability grounds.
What decided it
The proposal's accordance with the development plan's design and character policies, combined with unchallenged viability evidence justifying the absence of affordable housing, led to the appeal being allowed.
Having found the proposal in accordance with the development plan, the Inspector did not need to undertake a formal planning balance, though the identified economic, social and environmental benefits further supported allowing the appeal.
