Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect that varying the condition would have on a Grade II listed building
- whether the proposed variation of the affordable housing obligation is justified
What decided it
The appellant failed to substantively and transparently justify the viability case for removing the affordable housing (PiL) contribution, and no mechanism was provided to secure the Be Seen Energy Monitoring obligation.
The positive effect on the listed building did not outweigh or negate the unjustified reduction in affordable housing provision and the lack of a mechanism to secure the Be Seen Energy Monitoring obligation.
