Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on highway and pedestrian safety, with particular regard to on-street vehicle parking
  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the proposed development would be capable of providing satisfactory refuse storage and collection arrangements

What decided it

The proposal's failure to provide the minimum number of off-street parking spaces required by the development plan would likely harm highway and pedestrian safety, and this harm was not outweighed by the modest benefits of providing two additional dwellings.
