Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would make appropriate provision for car parking and the effect of the development on highway safety and the free flow of traffic
What decided it
The failure to demonstrate adequate parking provision within the appeal site, combined with uncertainty about the availability and control of off-site parking areas, would result in vehicles parking on estate roads and circulation areas, causing unacceptable harm to highway safety and the free flow of traffic.
The modest economic benefits of supporting the existing business and providing limited employment opportunities were substantially outweighed by the significant harm to highway safety and the safe and efficient operation of the industrial estate arising from inadequate parking provision.
