Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to provision of internal space and facilities
- Whether or not the proposal would facilitate car-free sustainable development that would encourage walking, cycling and the use of public transport
What decided it
The absence of a suitable Section 106 planning obligation to secure car-free status and fund the necessary Traffic Management Order amendment, which is essential to prevent parking stress and ensure sustainable development in accordance with development plan and national policy.
The modest but valuable contribution to housing mix and limited social and economic benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the conflict with sustainable transport policies arising from the absence of a car-free planning obligation.
