Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the future occupiers of the development and the occupiers of Buckworth Court with particular regard to the provision of private amenity space
  • The safe and efficient operation of the highway network in the vicinity of the appeal site
  • The choice of transport modes available to future occupiers of the proposed development and their caregivers

What decided it

The proposal's failure to demonstrate adequate private amenity space provision and safe, sufficient parking arrangements, combined with the absence of cycle parking facilities, created unacceptable harm to living conditions and highway safety that could not be overcome.

The proposal's limited benefits (potential shared activities with the day care facility) were substantially outweighed by the unacceptable harm to living conditions, highway safety and sustainable transport provision, with no material considerations indicating the decision should depart from the development plan.
