Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether prior approval should be granted under Schedule 2, Part 20, Class A of the GPDO, with respect to the transport and highways impacts of the development
- Whether prior approval should be granted under Schedule 2, Part 20, Class A of the GPDO, with respect to the external appearance of the building
What decided it
The proposal would have harmful transport and highways impacts due to the lack of additional off-street parking provision and the potential for displaced on-street parking in a high-demand Controlled Parking Zone, with no enforceable mitigation in place.
