- sustainable travel
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance of the area, together with the absence of adequate measures to promote sustainable travel and car/parking permit free development, significantly and demonstrably outweighs the modest housing benefits.
The modest housing benefit was afforded moderate weight, but the harm to character and appearance together with the absence of adequate sustainable travel measures significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits, such that the conflict with the development plan could not be overcome by the Framework.
