Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the safety and convenience of highway users
- Whether the proposal would provide appropriate living conditions for the occupiers, with particular regard to internal and external space
What decided it
The accessible location of the site with good public transport links and the provision of cycle storage meant that the reduced on-site parking provision would not harmfully impact highway safety or convenience, and the communal and external spaces would provide appropriate living conditions for occupants.
