Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the loss of an off-street parking space associated with the dwelling would place additional parking pressure on the surrounding highways
What decided it
The loss of an off-street parking space would place additional parking pressure on surrounding highways that are unsuitable by design to absorb additional parking, conflicting with Policy T2 and parking guidance.
The benefits to the appellant of having a roller door (wind protection, security, odour control) were not outweighed by the problems arising from the diminution of available parking spaces at the property and the wider public interest in maintaining adequate parking provision.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy T2Interim Guidance Note 3 (IGN3) Guidance Table for Residential Parking
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
