Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on highway safety and parking provision

What decided it

The proposal would fail to provide sufficient off-street parking in accordance with adopted standards and would be likely to cause highway safety issues through inadequate on-site provision and reliance on third-party facilities.

The benefits of providing a community service were outweighed by the harm to highway safety arising from insufficient parking provision.
