The Planning Inspectorate has retroactively approved Comer Homes Group's Mast Quay Phase II in Woolwich, despite significant deviations from previous planning permissions. The decision mandates financial payments totaling £7.8 million, including funds for affordable housing and local improvements. The developer has specific obligations, including installing a children's play area and enhancing accessibility. The Royal Borough of Greenwich views this as a substantial package to mitigate harm caused. Council officials express disappointment regarding the nature of the original unauthorized development, emphasizing the necessity for compliance with planning regulations and community standards.
You don't get to use the housing crisis to justify shoddy development because delivering what planners think is right will create better places for everyone.
The inspector's decision imposes strict planning conditions to improve the standard of the development, ensuring that community needs are prioritized.
