Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The main issue in all of the appeals is whether the planning obligations requested with respect to education and healthcare provision would meet the tests set out in Regulation 122(2) of the Community Infrastructure Levy Regulations 2010 (CIL Regs).
What decided it
Whether the four applications should be treated as a single comprehensive development exceeding the 100-dwelling threshold for education contributions, and whether the ICB had adequately evidenced the necessity of its healthcare contribution under CIL Regulation 122(2).
The Council's planning balance (design, extant permissions, development plan conflict, housing land supply and benefits) was accepted by the Inspector as favouring allowing all four appeals, with the outcome turning only on whether the disputed education and healthcare contributions met the CIL tests.
