Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would have a detrimental impact on highway safety and living conditions as a result of reduced space for on-site parking

What decided it

The loss of the only off-street parking space at the property would result in additional parking stress and congestion in an already constrained high-density residential environment, to the detriment of highway safety.
