Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on highway safety
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of nearby occupiers with regard to noise and disturbance, with particular regard to the parking of vehicles that may arise from it
What decided it
The Transport Note's parking accumulation assessment, predicting a modest increase in parking demand not exceeding five vehicles at any one time with seven spaces available on site, demonstrated that the departure from parking standards was appropriately justified and would not result in unacceptable highway safety or living condition impacts.

- Development plan policies
- Policy R6Policy AC3Appendix 5
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
