Why it was refused

  1. The local planning authority considers the proposal, by reason of the intensification of use at the site and the failure to provide for adequate and safe off-street car parking provision to serve the new development, would result in an increase in on-street parking on a street and immediate locality which already suffers from parking congestion problems. This would be harmful to highway safety to the detriment of the safe and free flow of vehicular traffic and pedestrian movements on nearby roads and harmful to residential amenity. This would be contrary to Policies P10 and T2 of the Core Strategy, saved policy GP5 of the Unitary Development Plan and with the guidance included within the Council's Transport SPD and the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
