Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety, with particular regard to on-street parking within the CPZ
What decided it
The appeal scheme would generate additional pressure on parking in the CPZ by allowing all four flats to apply for residential parking permits, which would be harmful to highway safety and contrary to development plan policies seeking to reduce car dominance and ownership.
