Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Transport impacts of the development, with due regard to car parking, cycle parking, and refuse and recycling storage
  • Loss of a registered nursery

What decided it

The development would lead to unacceptable transport impacts, particularly increased parking stress in an already constrained Controlled Parking Zone and compromised safe site access due to bin storage and cycle parking in the shared service yard, contrary to Class MA.2(2)(a) of the GPDO.
