Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- effect of the proposed development on biodiversity
- effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of No. 18 Vicarage Road
- sustainable travel and highway safety, with particular regard to the details of cycle parking and restriction of parking permits
What decided it
The inability to secure a legally binding restriction on parking permits through either a planning obligation or enforceable condition meant the proposal would harmfully affect highway safety and traffic flow, conflicting with the development plan with no material considerations outweighing this conflict.
