Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether there is adequate off-street parking available for No 19, with particular regard to effects for the appearance of the streetscene; the living conditions of residents of Ruton Square and adjoining streets; and the safe and efficient operation of the highway

What decided it

The garage is of sufficient size to accommodate vehicle parking, the driveway provides additional off-street parking capacity, and the specific site circumstances mean any increased on-street parking would not cause significant harm to the streetscene, living conditions, or highway safety.
