Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would make suitable provision for the parking of vehicles, with due regard to highway safety and the living conditions of nearby residents in respect of access to vehicle parking
What decided it
The inadequate provision of car parking for the Craven Heifer business would result in significant overspill parking in nearby residential areas and unacceptable harm to highway safety, which could not be outweighed by the limited housing and design benefits of the proposal.
The benefits of housing supply and improved character and appearance were outweighed by the significant harm arising from inadequate car parking provision and highway safety impacts; the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the identified benefits when assessed against the Framework taken as a whole
