Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location with regards to the accessibility of the site and with regards to reliance of future occupiers on private motor vehicles
  • Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Flushing Conservation Area

What decided it

The proposal's failure to provide appropriate off-street parking relative to the accessibility of the location, requiring future residents to rely on private motor vehicles, conflicted with the development plan and outweighed the limited benefits of housing supply and economic activity.

The limited benefits of housing supply and economic activity were outweighed by the significant conflict with the development plan regarding accessibility and parking provision relative to the site's location.
