Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would provide an acceptable standard of living conditions for future occupiers with specific regard to internal floor space, storage space and outdoor amenity space
  • Whether the proposed development would promote the use of sustainable transport modes with specific regard to cycle storage
  • Whether the proposed development would provide suitable facilities for waste and recycling storage
  • The effect of the proposed development on highway safety with specific regard to car parking

What decided it

The absence of a sufficiently robust mechanism (planning obligation) to address car-free requirements and sustainable transport in a high PTAL area with existing parking stress, combined with failures to provide adequate storage and outdoor amenity space.
