Why it was refused

  1. The proposal fails to make provision for affordable housing or provide a suitable financial payment in lieu contribution. The proposal is therefore contrary to Policy 13 of the City Plan 2019-2040 (January 2026) and the Planning Obligations and Affordable Housing SPD (March 2026).

From the council's decision notice.
