Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether a suitable standard of accommodation would be provided for future occupiers
  • the effect of the proposed development on parking provision

What decided it

The absence of substantive evidence of harm to highway safety, combined with the suitable standard of accommodation provided, outweighed the shortfall against maximum parking standards.
