Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety, with particular regard to parking
- whether the proposed development would provide satisfactory living conditions for the future occupiers of 6 Stirling Road, with particular regard to private outside space
What decided it
The inability to enforce the unilateral undertakings as car-free obligations due to the mortgagee's absence as a signatory meant no effective mechanism existed to prevent future residents from parking on-street, creating unacceptable highway safety impacts that conflicted with Policies T6.1 and DM42.
Plan policies cited: Policy T6.1 of the London Plan 2021, Policy DM42 of the Development Management Policies 2013, Policy D6 of the London Plan 2021, Policies D3, D6 and H9 of the London Plan 2021, Policies DM1, DM27 and DM30 of the Development Management Policies 2013
