Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed new access on on-street parking provision
  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area
  • Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers, with particular reference to outdoor amenity space
  • Whether the proposal would make an appropriate contribution to affordable housing provision

What decided it

The material harm to existing residents' living conditions through exacerbation of parking stress in the local area outweighs the modest benefits of providing one additional dwelling.

The adverse impacts of parking harm significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of one additional residential unit, and the proposal would not be a sustainable form of development for which there is a presumption in favour
