Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would cause an unacceptable danger to the safety of other highway users

What decided it

The availability of three parking permits for the occupiers, combined with observed on-street parking availability and the same parking standard applying to both dwellinghouses and HMOs, amounted to exceptional circumstances justifying departure from the Streetscape Design Guide's in-curtilage parking requirement.
