Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal makes suitable provision for the parking of vehicles with reference to highway safety

What decided it

The proposal fails to make suitable provision for parking of vehicles within the designated Parking Policy Zone, conflicting with Policies T4 and T6 of the Bovey Parish Neighbourhood Plan 2022, and would likely exacerbate existing on-street parking problems including obstruction of footways and access difficulties for emergency vehicles.
