Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on highway safety with regard to parking provision

What decided it

The proposal would create unacceptable knock-on effects for parking at the existing property, leading to increased on-street parking on a busy road near a strategic junction, which would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of a single dwelling under the tilted balance.

The modest benefits of one new dwelling and housing supply were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts on highway safety from increased on-street parking pressure on a busy road near a traffic-light controlled junction.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy T2 of The Plan for Stafford Borough (2011-2031)
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 11Paragraph 8
