Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would create acceptable living conditions for future occupants
- Whether it makes acceptable provision for affordable housing
- Whether it is acceptable when regard is paid to effects on the public highway
What decided it
The unacceptable living conditions for the occupant of Flat 3, combined with the unsecured affordable housing contribution and inadequate car parking provision, meant the adverse effects substantially and demonstrably outweighed the benefits of housing delivery.
The adverse effects of granting planning permission substantially and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole; the presumption at Paragraph 11 does not apply.
Framework references: 11, 61, 73, 115, 124, 135
