Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of local residents and future occupants of the development from increased pressure for on-street parking
What decided it
The combination of lower car ownership levels for flat-dwellers, the unattractive nature of alternative on-street parking options, and the absence of evidence demonstrating that existing on-street parking provision elsewhere is at critical levels meant that the proposed development would not lead to unacceptable pressure on parking such as to harm living conditions.
