Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on highway safety with specific regard to on street parking and the free flow of traffic
  • whether the proposed development would be at an unacceptable risk of flooding

What decided it

The proposal would have an unacceptable adverse effect on highway safety through increased on-street parking displacement and would be at unacceptable risk of flooding due to insufficient flood resilience information.

The limited benefits of improving the garage and providing family accommodation were substantially outweighed by the substantial harms to highway safety and flood risk, and the conflicts with the development plan.
