Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed bicycle storage would promote healthy communities and more active and sustainable forms of transport and the implications of that finding for the disputed conditions

What decided it

The proposed cycle storage would not promote cycling or accord with Policy T5 requirements for secure and covered facilities, necessitating a fresh permission with revised conditions to enable compliant details to be provided.

Plan policies cited: Policy T5 of the Places and Policies Local Plan, saved Local Plan Review policies SD1, BE1, BE4 and BE8
