Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal upon highway safety
  • whether the proposal should secure Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) and if so whether it could make adequate provision for BNG
  • the effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The inadequate provision of parking spaces on site, which would conflict with parking standards and create unacceptable highway safety impacts through forced reverse manoeuvres and overspill parking on surrounding roads.

Plan policies cited: Policy TRAN2 of the Black Country Core Strategy, Policy S17 of the Dudley Borough Development Strategy, Policies CSP4 and ENV2 of the Black Country Core Strategy, Policy S6 of the Dudley Borough Development Strategy
