Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed parking arrangements would be satisfactory for future occupiers

What decided it

The proposed parking spaces across Reigate Road would not provide safe and convenient access for all future occupiers and visitors, conflicting with Policy TAP1 and NPPF paragraph 130(f).

The benefits of housing supply were outweighed by the significant harm arising from unsatisfactory parking arrangements that would conflict with the development plan and the Framework.
