Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would make sufficient provision for off-street parking
  • Whether it would constitute inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and any relevant development plan policies

What decided it

The failure to secure sufficient off-street parking provision due to the inability to relocate the bus stop with certainty, conflicting with Local Plan parking policies, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the housing delivery benefits.

the benefits of housing delivery and the site's availability were outweighed by the unacceptable harm from the failure to provide the minimum level of on-site parking required by the Local Plan
