Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide adequate car parking provision and the effect this would have on on-street car parking in the area
What decided it
The proposal's failure to provide adequate car parking in accordance with Policy H6 of the Neighbourhood Plan, which takes precedence over the Local Plan and is protected by paragraph 14 of the Framework, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the housing and other benefits.
The significant benefits of 37 new homes, housing mix including bungalows and affordable units, and contributions to infrastructure were outweighed by the conflict with the Neighbourhood Plan's car parking policy, which is protected by paragraph 14 of the Framework as the plan is less than five years old and contains housing allocations.
