Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers, with regard to the provision of private amenity space
  • the effect of the proposed development on highway safety, with particular regard to the provision of parking

What decided it

The Inspector's acceptance of the Parking Survey's justification for non-compliance with minimum parking standards, based on the availability of nearby on-street parking, proximity to public transport, and accessibility to services, combined with the adequacy of the proposed amenity space provision, allowed the appeal to proceed.

Plan policies cited: Policy PSP43, Policy CS1, Policy PSP16, Policy PSP11
