Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • The effect of the development on highway safety

What decided it

The lack of a mechanism to secure a traffic regulation order to manage the inevitable increase in on-street parking meant the proposal would have a harmful effect on the safe operation of the highway which was not outweighed by the benefits of the scheme.

the significant harm to highway safety from unmanaged on-street parking was not outweighed by the economic, social and environmental benefits of the care home
