Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of nearby properties with particular regard to parking stress
What decided it
The evidence that the development would generate significantly less parking demand than the SPD standard, combined with the site's accessibility by alternative modes of transport and the demonstrated capacity of surrounding roads to accommodate overspill parking without harm to highway safety or residential amenity, justified departure from the prescribed parking standards in accordance with the SPD's flexible approach.
