Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on parking availability and highway safety in the area
- whether the proposal makes adequate provision for cycle parking
- the effect of the development proposed on the living conditions of the occupiers of 17 Ruskin Road, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
What decided it
The unacceptable effects on highway safety due to inadequate parking provision and inadequate cycle parking provision, which conflict with the development plan and Framework, with no material considerations of sufficient weight to indicate a decision other than in accordance with the development plan.
The modest benefits of providing new dwellings and economic benefits were insufficient to outweigh the significant harm to parking availability and highway safety and the inadequate cycle parking provision.
