Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect that varying condition 6 would have on highway safety

What decided it

The appellant demonstrated that functional parking needs for 5 consulting rooms could be accommodated at and close to the site through a combination of on-site parking, on-street parking, and sustainable transport modes, with no substantive evidence that the dental practice was causing the observed illegal parking.

The benefits of allowing the additional consulting rooms and increased use of the sustainable location were balanced against parking concerns, with the balance tipping in favour of the development subject to a travel plan condition to promote sustainable transport.
