Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on parking and highway safety

What decided it

The availability of sufficient parking capacity within existing airport facilities and the newly approved Harp House Roundabout car park to accommodate staff displaced by the loss of 60 spaces, combined with the site's excellent public transport accessibility and the absence of substantive evidence that the local road network could not accommodate additional traffic.

The benefits of the hotel development at an airport location with excellent public transport connectivity outweighed the loss of 60 staff parking spaces, given the availability of alternative parking capacity and sustainable transport options.
