The officer assessed compliance with General Policy 2 (parts b, c, g, h, i) and Transport Policy 7, focusing on parking standards, safe access, design suitability, and neighbour amenity.
General Policy 2
Requires new development to provide sufficient parking and safe access (h,i), be appropriately designed for the site (b), good appearance (c), and not harm neighbour amenity (g). Officer found parking not ideal but no material highway safety harm due to on-street availability and low pressures; design with matching materials and detailing acceptable without neighbour impact.
Transport Policy 7
Requires safe access and sufficient parking for all users. Assessed alongside GP2; officer overruled Highway objection concluding no materially harmful impact despite substandard spaces.
