Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether it has been adequately demonstrated that there is no demand for a medical facility in this location
  • Whether affordable housing is required to make the proposal acceptable in planning terms

What decided it

The Inspector found that the s106 marketing obligation for a medical facility had been fulfilled and that the affordable housing floorspace approach did not artificially restrict development, removing both reasons for refusal.

No harms or policy conflicts were identified, and there were no considerations weighing against the proposal, so the appeal succeeded without a tilted or weighted balancing exercise being required.
