Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether a suitable mechanism has been provided to restrict future occupiers from obtaining residential car parking permits and ensure future occupiers have access to car club and cycle hire membership
  • the effect of the applied glazing bars, visible trickle vents and height of the rear extension on the character and appearance of the non-designated heritage asset and the conservation area

What decided it

The absence of a completed and executed planning obligation to restrict residential car parking permits and secure car club and cycle hire membership meant the development would conflict with the development plan taken as a whole, outweighing the neutral heritage findings.

The neutral effect on heritage assets carried positive weight, but was outweighed by the unmitigated harm from exacerbated parking stress and failure to ensure occupant access to car or cycle club membership resulting from the incomplete planning obligation.
