Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- parking provision and highway and pedestrian safety
What decided it
The site's accessible location with good access to public transport and local amenities, combined with the modest scale of a one-bedroom dwelling, meant that the loss of parking provision and addition of one new home would not unacceptably affect highway safety or parking provision in the surrounding area.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- SS6LD1SD1MT1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 68Paragraph 74Paragraph 130Paragraph 111
