Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal provides acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to internal living space and private outdoor garden space
- the effect of the proposed development on the provision of community facilities
- whether suitable arrangements are in place to ensure that the development would make appropriate provision for affordable housing
What decided it
The proposal's failure to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers and its unjustified loss of community infrastructure in conflict with the development plan outweighed the minor benefits of additional housing supply.
