Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would meet a demonstrable housing need within the London Borough of Camden (the Borough), be targeted at Borough residents and contribute to creating a mixed, inclusive and sustainable community
- Whether the development would make appropriate provision for infrastructure and community needs arising from the development and secure necessary mitigation
What decided it
The Inspector's finding that the development plan, including CLP Policy H8, was complied with (the care home met a demonstrable housing need and did not require affordable housing) and that the necessary Section 106 obligations secured appropriate mitigation, meaning the proposal accorded with the development plan as a whole.
The development accords with the development plan as a whole and there are no material considerations indicating a decision should be made otherwise, so the appeal was allowed.
