Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety, with regards to the adequacy of parking provision
- Whether the proposed development would regenerate or lead to the improvement of social, economic or environmental conditions in the Community Investment Area
What decided it
The lack of on-site parking provision, which would result in congestion and potential conflict within the community, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefit of providing one additional housing unit.
The benefit of providing one additional housing unit and satisfactory living conditions, located in an urban area with reasonable access to services, was significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impact of inadequate parking provision resulting in congestion and potential conflict within the community.
