Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the parking conditions in the area and consequently on highway safety
What decided it
The proposed development would exacerbate parking conditions in an area already experiencing high parking stress, resulting in significant harm to highway safety through increased traffic circulation and unsafe parking behaviour.
The modest benefits from the net gain of eight family dwellings and environmental measures were outweighed by the significant harm to highway safety and conflict with development plan policies
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy T4 of the London Plan 2021Policy T6 of the London Plan 2021Policy DM29 of the Croydon Local Plan 2018Policy DM30 of the Croydon Local Plan 2018Policy SP2 of the Croydon Local Plan 2018
