Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety, with regard to the parking provision
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The net loss of parking provision and resulting harm to highway safety significantly and demonstrably outweighed the limited housing benefits, particularly given the absence of a five-year housing land supply.
The benefits of housing supply and associated social and economic benefits were outweighed by the significant harm to highway safety resulting from inadequate parking provision; the tilted balance under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework did not apply because the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits.
