Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of parking provision associated with the proposed development on the safety and convenience of road and footway users and the character and appearance of the local area

What decided it

The existing garage does not realistically function as a useable parking space, the proposal would not significantly increase on-street parking demand beyond what the area can accommodate, and there is no evidence of unacceptable highway safety impacts.
