Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the transport impacts of the proposed development would be acceptable
What decided it
The absence of secure and covered cycle parking facilities would unreasonably restrict the occupiers' ability to access places and facilities beyond the local area, thereby harming their living conditions and making the transport impacts of the development unacceptable.
