Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A: whether the condition is necessary in the interests of highway safety, precise and enforceable
- Appeals B and C: the transport and highways impacts of the proposed developments
- Appeal C: whether it would include the provision of adequate natural light in all habitable rooms of the dwellinghouses
What decided it
Appeal A: the condition failed the Framework tests of necessity, precision and enforceability; Appeal B: insufficient on-site parking provision combined with limited on-street capacity and displacement of existing parking would harm highway safety; Appeal C: sufficient on-site parking to meet standards and acceptable on-street parking capacity in the vicinity.
