Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character of the area and the streetscene
  • the effect of car parking due to the proposed development in respect of on-street parking

What decided it

The loss of significant existing parking provision combined with increased demand from the retail unit and enlarged flat would be displaced to kerbside parking, causing harmful effects that outweigh the minor benefits of the development.
