Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the local highway network, with regard to parking
- The effect on the living conditions of The Old Forge, 73 and 75 Old Exeter Road with regard to daylight and outlook
- The effect on the living conditions of future occupiers of the site with regard to the size of the dwelling and privacy
What decided it
The site's accessibility to services, facilities and public transport justified the parking shortfall, and the spatial relationships with neighbouring properties would not result in unacceptable harm to living conditions.
The benefits of providing a new dwelling in an accessible town centre location outweighed the parking shortfall and minor spatial constraints, with no material harm to neighbouring amenity or highway safety.
