Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Effect of the proposed development on parking and highway safety
- Effect of the proposed development on flood risk
- Effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it
The failure to demonstrate that the loss of existing parking would not cause unacceptable impacts on highway safety, combined with the absence of a flood risk assessment, meant the proposal failed to accord with the development plan and the moderate benefits could not outweigh these deficiencies.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy SCLP7.2Policy SCLP9.5Policy SCLP5.7Policy SCLP11.2
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
