Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on highway and pedestrian safety for users of the adjacent highways with particular regard to vehicle parking
The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the local area

What decided it

The proposal would add to on-street parking demand and present a safety hazard to road users and pedestrians, conflicting with development plan policies requiring compliance with parking standards and avoidance of road safety prejudice.

The benefits of additional living space and economic benefits did not outweigh the significant harm to highway and pedestrian safety identified in relation to parking provision.

Plan policies cited: PMD8, PMD9, CSTP22, PMD2

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.
