Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the proposal would lead to a highway safety concern
What decided it
The proposed change of use would exacerbate parking levels in an area already suffering from on-street parking stress, leading to detrimental harm to highway safety.
The small benefits of the proposal (removal of commercial refuse, cycle parking, housing numbers) did not outweigh the harm to highway safety arising from exacerbated parking stress in the local area.
