Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the availability of on-street parking
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring properties at Nos 57 and 61 Hainault Road in terms of light and outlook
- Whether the proposed development would provide suitable living conditions for future occupiers of the host property in terms of light and outlook
What decided it
The proposal would increase on-street parking pressure to the detriment of highway safety due to the lack of an enforceable mechanism to secure car-free development, conflicting with the development plan.
