Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether there is an identified need for the development
  • the effect of the proposed development on the character of the area
  • the effect of the proposed development on highway safety, with particular regard to parking

What decided it

The absence of a legal agreement to restrict parking permit rights meant the proposal could not demonstrate it would not result in unacceptable parking pressure and highway congestion, causing it to conflict with development plan policies on parking management and highway safety.
