Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the front garden/amenity area of no. 56 would be a suitable location for the proposed development
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety and the provision of on-street parking in the area
What decided it
The material harm caused by loss of on-street parking and increased parking stress in the area, combined with conflicts with Development Plan policies on suitable locations for development, outweighed any benefits.
The partial compliance with policies Q2, Q5 and T7, and the personal circumstances of the appellant were not of sufficient weight to outweigh the harm caused by conflicts with the Development Plan.
Plan policies cited: Policy Q5, Policy Q14, Policy Q15, Policy Q9, Policy T7, Policy Q2, Policy T6
