Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would constitute permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 20, Class AA of the GPDO
- If so, whether prior approval should be granted having regard to the external appearance of the building, and the transport and highways impacts of the development
What decided it
The Unilateral Undertaking prohibiting future occupiers from obtaining parking permits ensured the development would be car-free and would not result in unacceptable pressure on on-street parking, thereby addressing the Council's primary concern on highways grounds.
