The tier sentence ¶18

“good access to public transport and local services”

Summary

Berkeley Homes sought to cut residential parking at the Eden Grove development in Staines, near the town centre and station, and give some spaces to vacant commercial units. Take-up of spaces had been low. The inspector found the site highly accessible (Connectivity Tool 79–82), the reduction within Surrey's maximum standards and consistent with TR2(2), and no unacceptable highway safety impact under TR6(4). Both linked appeals were allowed.

The location finding

TR3: pass. mapped - walking distance of Staines centre, rail station (regular Waterloo service) and buses; Connectivity Tool 79-82 vs median 50; car club and travel plan (DL 20-21, 28-29)
