“good access to public transport and local services”

Summary

Berkeley Homes sought to cut residential parking at Eden Grove, a nearly complete scheme on the edge of Staines town centre, because take-up had been low, and to give some spaces to empty commercial units. The inspector applied the county's maximum-standards guidance, which accords with TR2(2), and found the site highly accessible (Connectivity Tool 79-82). With the highway authority content, there was no unacceptable highway safety impact under TR6(4). Allowed.
