Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on highway safety, with particular regard to the provision of parking

What decided it

The proposal would generate demand for parking of up to four vehicles at peak times but the property can only safely accommodate two vehicles, creating unacceptable highway safety harm through increased on-street parking and antisocial parking behaviour.

The moderate weight given to the social benefits (supported accommodation for vulnerable young people) and economic benefits (job creation) did not outweigh the unacceptable harm to highway safety caused by parking stress.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy TR2 of the Core Strategy
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 60Paragraph 92

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
