Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed parking arrangement on highway safety
  • whether there would be adequate provision for refuse storage and collection

What decided it

The potential harm arising from inadequate parking provision would be significant and enduring, and when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole, the adverse impacts would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits.

the benefits of housing delivery, commercial space, job creation and re-use of a non-designated heritage asset (attributed moderate weight) were outweighed by the significant and enduring harm to highway safety from inadequate parking provision
