Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety, with regard to parking provision
- the effect of the development on the availability of employment space locally, having regard to local development plan policies
- whether the development would provide acceptable refuse storage facilities
- whether the development would provide acceptable cycle storage facilities
What decided it
The absence of an effective mechanism (monitoring fee) in the unilateral undertaking to prevent occupiers from applying for parking permits would result in increased parking demand and stress, thereby harming highway safety.
