Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not the proposed development would cause inconsiderate parking, adversely affect traffic congestion or compromise highway safety
What decided it
The restrictive dimensions of the existing garage mean its conversion to a study would not result in the loss of an off-site parking space, and the current parking arrangements would not change, therefore the proposal would not cause inconsiderate parking, adversely affect traffic congestion or compromise highway safety.
