Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether prior approval should be granted having regard to the transport and highways impacts of the proposed development

What decided it

The submission of amended plans addressing natural light concerns, the sufficiency of refuse storage capacity, and the Unilateral Undertaking preventing residential parking permits in the Controlled Parking Zone together eliminated the Council's grounds for refusing prior approval on transport and highways grounds.
