Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the condition requiring on-site parking provision is reasonable or necessary in the interests of highway safety
What decided it
The rear parking space was impractical to implement due to access constraints, and the property could be treated as a 3-bedroom house requiring only 2 spaces, with Shrivenham Road able to accommodate any overspill parking without highway safety harm.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy TR2Parking Standards for New Development Supplementary Planning Document
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.
