Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for occupiers of neighbouring dwellings with particular regard to loss of light, overlooking and privacy
- The effect of the proposed development on parking provision and highway safety
What decided it
The appeal site's sustainable location with good access to public transport and town centre facilities, combined with the low car ownership likely associated with one-bedroom flats, meant that the absence of on-street parking provision would not cause unacceptable highway safety impacts.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 10 of the Broxtowe Aligned Core Strategy (2014)Policy 17 of the Part 2 Local Plan (2019)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 2024
