Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety and operational efficiency
- whether the proposed vehicle parking would be sufficient to meet the needs of the development
- the effect of the loss of on street parking facilities
What decided it
The Inspector found that the proposed access, parking provision and loss of on-street parking would not cause unacceptable harm to highway safety, parking adequacy or the wider highway network, leaving no harm or policy conflict to weigh against the proposal.
having found no harm or policy conflict on the main issues, the wider economic and social benefits of the scheme (jobs, expenditure, use of a previously developed town-centre site) added further weight in favour of allowing the appeal
