Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would provide sufficient parking provision with particular regard to the availability of on-street parking

What decided it

The fallback position that a care home operating under the same C2 use class could have required 29 parking spaces, demonstrating that the proposed HMO would not generate a significant increase in on-street parking compared to the lawful use of the site.

The proposals accord with the development plan policies on parking and highway safety, with no material considerations outweighing this finding.
