Why it was refused

  1. Local Plan Policy DEC1: Principles of Good Design requires that developments provide suitable and safe vehicular access and suitable serving and parking arrangements, which should be design-led and meet the principles of good design. The Council's Interim Parking Guidance (IPG) requires 1 parking space per 1-bed residential unit in the development limits of Market Towns such as Scarborough. The existing building has been evidenced to contain 16 residential units and the net increase of 4 units would result in a significant parking shortfall compared to the requirements of the Interim Parking Guidance.

From the council's decision notice.
