Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on highway safety in relation to the proposed car parking provision
  • whether the development would provide satisfactory accommodation for its future occupiers with regards to internal space standards and amenity space provision
  • whether the proposed development would deliver an adequate mix of homes

What decided it

The proposal was found to comply with the relevant Local Plan policies on parking, amenity standards and housing mix, such that it accorded with the development plan as a whole.

the proposal accords with the development plan as a whole and there were no other material considerations indicating a decision other than in accordance with the plan, so the appeal was allowed
