Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the demand for on-street parking, with particular regard to highway safety and the convenience for road users in the local area
What decided it
The Council's inability to demonstrate a five-year housing land supply engaged the tilted balance, and the limited increased parking demand did not significantly and demonstrably outweigh the housing supply benefits.
The benefits of delivering one dwelling on brownfield land in a sustainable location with access to services and public transport outweighed the conflict with parking standards and the inconvenience to road users, which was not severe and did not result in unacceptable highway safety impacts.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy AC3 (Demand Management)Appendix 5 (parking standards)Policy DS3
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
