Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the change of use facilitates a car-free development that encourages walking, cycling and the use of public transport
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring dwellings
- Whether the development provides suitable living conditions for occupiers of the appeal property
- Whether the development provides suitable provision for cycle parking and refuse storage
What decided it
The absence of a section 106 planning obligation to secure car-free status and prevent residents from obtaining parking permits, which was necessary to ensure compliance with sustainable transport policies in a location with poor public transport accessibility (PTAL rating 2).
The benefits of housing delivery were outweighed by the significant harm arising from the failure to secure car-free development and compliance with sustainable transport policies, assessed against the Framework as a whole under paragraph 11.
