Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the quantum of off-street car parking provision as proposed would result in an adverse impact on the character and amenity of the area, and compromise highway safety
What decided it
The specialist nature of the proposed accommodation and the significantly lower car ownership levels associated with it justified the reduced parking provision and rendered the Council's refusal reason unjustified.
The benefits of delivering 24 affordable dwellings with specialist accommodation, supported by the accessibility of local services and public transport, outweighed the Council's unsubstantiated concerns regarding parking and its impacts on character and amenity.
