Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers of unit 2
- the effect of the proposed access arrangements on the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties and future occupiers having regard to privacy and noise and disturbance
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety, with particular regard to parking provision
What decided it
The modest scale of the development, its proximity to public transport and New Malden town centre, and the absence of substantive evidence of significant parking demand or highway safety harm rendered the absence of off-road parking provision acceptable.
