Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would give rise to levels of on-street parking likely to result in highway safety issues and/or inconvenience for road users and pedestrians in the area
- Whether the proposal would deliver a sustainable form of development in the context that the Council is unable to demonstrate a five-year supply of deliverable housing sites
What decided it
The parking surveys demonstrated sufficient on-street capacity to accommodate the development without material highway safety impacts, and the Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing supply meant the proposal would deliver sustainable development.
The benefits of housing delivery outweighed any concerns about on-street parking intensification, as the evidence demonstrated sufficient capacity and no material highway safety impacts.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy T-2 (Parking in Developments)Policy T-3 (Safety and Capacity on the Highway Network)Policy SIE-2Policy L1.1Policy L1.2
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 111Paragraph 56
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
