Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- highway safety
- the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to outlook
- whether future occupiers would be able to secure adequate living conditions, with particular regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The displacement of vehicles from the overspill parking area would result in dangerous and obstructive parking that would significantly compromise highway safety, conflicting with development plan policies TI/2 and TI/3 and NPPF Chapter 9, and this harm could not be outweighed by the modest benefits of the scheme.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- TI/2TI/3HQ/1H/16SC/10HQ/1(n)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 9Paragraph 12
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.
