Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would discourage sustainable travel and whether it would result in a severe residual cumulative impact on the transport network

What decided it

The significant parking stress on the existing car park (90-102% occupancy at peak times) combined with the absence of compelling evidence from the Council that additional spaces would discourage sustainable travel or cause severe transport impacts led the Inspector to conclude the proposal would not conflict with transport policy.
