Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to on-street parking and traffic generated
What decided it
The provision of 8 compliant off-street parking spaces ensured no significant increase in on-street parking and, combined with the Highway Authority's lack of objection and low traffic generation from eight dwellings, meant the development would not have an adverse impact on highway safety or neighbouring living conditions.
