Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect that varying the disputed conditions and substituting the drawings to allow the erection of 9 dwellings would have upon highway safety, with particular regard to car parking provision

What decided it

The proposed car parking provision of 24 spaces exceeds the Policy P1 minimum requirement of 22.5 spaces for the scheme, and the site's accessible location with public transport links means the proposal would not result in an unacceptable impact on highway safety.

Framework references: 111
