Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the facilitation of sustainable active travel
What decided it
The proposed three external Sheffield stands would be unacceptable cycle parking provision contrary to Policies CP9 and DM33, failing to facilitate sustainable active travel.
A very small addition to the housing supply and any other consequent benefits, including economic ones, would not outweigh the failure to provide adequate secure cycle storage
Plan policies cited: Policy CP9 of the City Plan Part One, Policy DM33 of the City Plan Part Two
Judgments cited: R (on the application of Ocado Retail Ltd) v Islington London Borough Council [2021] EWHC 1509 (Admin)
