Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would be granted planning permission by the GPDO with regard to the requirements of paragraphs AA.2.(1)(a) and (e) relating to transport and highway impacts of the development and the external appearance of the building including the design and architectural features of the principal elevation and any side elevation that fronts a highway

What decided it

The proposal would have a significant and demonstrable adverse impact on transport and highway matters by failing to deliver a genuinely car-free development, as the unilateral undertaking could not prevent future occupants from obtaining parking permits.
