- minor · Planning Appeal
- Procedure
- Written Representations
- Development
- residential · Other minor developments
- Inspector
- Tinsley F
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety relating to car parking provision.
- The effect on living conditions of occupiers of the proposed development relating to provision of private and communal amenity space (Appeal B).
- The suitability of proposed waste storage facilities on site (Appeal B).
What decided it
The absence of a legal agreement to secure car-free development for the residential units, combined with the inadequacy of the proposed planning condition as an alternative mechanism, meant the proposals would cause unacceptable parking stress and harm highway safety in breach of the development plan.
