Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether sufficient parking provision would be provided to meet the needs of current and future occupants of the property, and its effect on highway safety and the amenity and convenience of surrounding residents
What decided it
The highway authority's acceptance of the proposal, the modest size of the dwelling, the availability of sustainable transport alternatives, and the absence of evidence that an additional habitable room would require a second parking space satisfied the Inspector that parking provision would be sufficient and highway safety would not be compromised.

- Development plan policies
- Policy T8Policy EC2
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 111
