Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on neighbouring residents as a result of additional traffic movements and any additional on-street parking
What decided it
The effect of any on-street parking arising from the proposal on the amenity of existing residents is not likely to be so regular or so extensive as to result in significant harm, particularly when mitigated by the parking permit restriction condition.
The social and environmental benefits of 6 additional dwellings in a sustainable location, with reduced traffic compared to the lawful industrial use and the extant permission, outweigh the limited residual risk of parking displacement, provided the parking permit restriction condition is imposed and implemented.
