Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the parking layout is satisfactory
  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers of No 23 Betsham Road, having regard to outlook

What decided it

The parking layout as built and as proposed fails to provide satisfactory access and manoeuvring space contrary to Manual for Streets guidance and local policy, and the single storey side projection combined with the rear boundary wall materially harms the outlook from the neighbouring property No 23 Betsham Road.
