Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- The effect of the proposed development on the safe operation of the highway in the vicinity of the appeal site with particular regard to car parking
- The effect of the proposed development on the provision of community facilities in the area
What decided it
The proposal would not provide adequate external amenity space for the proposed level of occupancy and would cause harm to highway safety through increased parking demand in an area already experiencing parking stress, contrary to the development plan.
