Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal makes adequate provision for off-road parking and the effect of any lack of provision on highway safety
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to overlooking and noise
What decided it
The site's accessible location with good public transport access and the provision of bicycle storage meant that the modest shortfall in on-site parking would not lead to unacceptable highway safety impacts, and the proposed conditions adequately safeguarded neighbouring living conditions.
