Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether adequate arrangements are made for car parking provision
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents at Walton Leigh, with particular reference to noise disturbance, refuse collection and to the effect on the character of the area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future residents
What decided it
The lack of dedicated car parking provision for the holiday let would result in increased demand for parking in an area with very limited supply, causing harm to neighbouring residents' living conditions and conflicting with development plan policies, which outweighed the limited economic benefits.
