Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on highway and pedestrian safety, having regard to parking provision

What decided it

The proposed parking provision of 0.95 spaces per dwelling, supported by Census data showing average car ownership of 0.74 cars per dwelling and a parking beat survey showing under-capacity, would not cause parking congestion that would harm highway or pedestrian safety, and the proposal complied with Policy CS25 which permits flexibility in parking standards.

The shortfall in off-street parking against the SPD standard was outweighed by the site's accessibility, local car ownership data, available on-street parking, and the ability to secure travel plan and cycle parking measures through conditions, resulting in no harm to highway or pedestrian safety.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy CS25 of the Hertsmere Local Plan Core Strategy 2013Policy SADM40 of the SADMPP
National Planning Policy Framework: Paragraph 107Paragraph 57

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
