Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether varying condition 2 would be acceptable, having particular regard to the proposed removal of the bus turning facility and whether its removal would be unacceptable in terms of access by public transport
What decided it
The bus turning facility was not secured through S106 funding for a dedicated service, and bus service number 4 has not been re-routed to serve the site with no funding available, making it unreasonable to require the facility when the site would still benefit from improved public transport access via existing services.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS.1Policy CS.26
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 104Paragraph 106Paragraph 110Paragraph 135
