Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on highway safety, with specific regard to traffic and on-street car parking

What decided it

The relatively low number of traffic movements and short duration of parking demand, combined with the width of Old Aust Road and existing unrestricted on-street parking, means the development does not create an unacceptable impact on highway safety as required by NPPF paragraph 111.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy PSP11
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 111Paragraph 150

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.
