Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would lead to on-street car parking and, if so, the effect of such car parking on highway safety
What decided it
The proposal would fail to provide sufficient off-street parking for each dwelling, leading to an unacceptable increase in on-street parking that would harm highway safety on Churchgate Street.
the modest net gain of one additional dwelling did not outweigh the conclusion on highway safety harm
