Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on on-street car parking and highway safety
  • Whether the development would provide suitable outdoor amenity space for the proposed occupants

What decided it

The accessibility of the location to public transport, amenities and public open spaces meant that the additional occupants would not generate significant parking demand and would have adequate access to outdoor amenity space despite the shortfall in on-site provision.
