In town centre redevelopment, standards are assessed case-by-case based on bed spaces generated, but here the impact on the constrained area was deemed unacceptable.
Peel Local Plan parking policy
Policy 7.8 states the standard will not be universally applied in redevelopment and town centre locations, with requirements determined on specific cases considering population generated. Despite this flexibility, the Committee and Inspector judged the site's central location on a key road with limited parking justified strict application, prioritising protection of existing and future off-highway provision.
