Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of Rosemary Cottage and the surrounding area
  • pedestrian and highway safety, and the function of the highway network, with regard to car parking provision

What decided it

The proposal would not harm character and appearance, and would not prejudice pedestrian or highway safety despite a minor technical shortfall in parking bay dimensions, as the spaces would be used by residents on private land and on-street parking was not a realistic alternative.
