Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether as a result of no provision of on-site parking and the absence of a legal agreement preventing occupiers from obtaining a resident's parking permit the development would result in parking stress and an adverse impact on highway safety
What decided it
The Inspector's own site observations demonstrating available parking capacity within the CPZ during peak hours, combined with the absence of evidence from the Council of inadequate on-street parking capacity, meant that a legal agreement restricting parking permits was not necessary and the development would not result in unacceptable highway safety impacts.
