Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would secure a potential contribution towards the provision of affordable housing
  • whether the proposal would make adequate provision to restrict future occupiers from applying for parking permits

What decided it

The absence of legal agreements to secure both an affordable housing review mechanism and parking permit restrictions meant the proposal failed to comply with Southwark Plan and London Plan policies, and this harm was not outweighed by the housing benefits.
