Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the control of car parking in the area
  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of local residents with particular regard to noise, disturbance and demand for on street parking
  • The effect of the development on highway and pedestrian safety
  • The effect of the development on air quality

What decided it

For Appeals A and B, defective service of the enforcement notice under ground (e) was decisive; for Appeals C and D, the failure to establish 10 years' continuous immune use under ground (d) and the finding that event day parking conflicted with the Council's car parking control strategy under ground (a) were decisive.

the absence of harm to living conditions, highway/pedestrian safety and air quality, and the benefit of estate maintenance funding, did not outweigh the harm to the Council's car parking control strategy for the Wembley Growth Area, so planning permission was refused
