Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal upon the highway network in terms of safety and on-street parking

What decided it

The potential for vehicles to reverse out of the proposed parking space onto the carriageway would pose a significant and unacceptable risk to highway safety, conflicting with local and national policy requirements.
