Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal makes suitable provision for the safe access and parking of vehicles and operation of the local highway network
What decided it
The proposal fails to make suitable provision for safe access and parking of vehicles, contrary to Policy T2 of the Core Strategy, Policy GP5 of the UDP, and the Transport SPD, and would unacceptably increase on-street parking demand in an already congested area.
Framework references: 9
Plan policies cited: Policy T2 of the Core Strategy, Policy GP5 of the Leeds Unitary Development Plan Review (2006), Leeds City Council Transport Supplementary Planning Document (2023)
