Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would provide sufficient parking in the interests of the proper function of the area and highway safety
- adequate provision for off-site public open space (POS) improvements
- the effect of the proposal on the Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area (SPA)
What decided it
The failure to provide adequate parking provision in accordance with Policy IN2 and the absence of secured section 106 agreements to mitigate impacts on the Thames Basin Heaths SPA and provide public open space contributions required by Policies DE6, DE7 and NE1.
the adverse impacts of granting planning permission, comprising inadequate parking provision and failure to secure necessary mitigation contributions, outweighed the limited benefits of providing one additional dwelling in an accessible location
