Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of removing condition C.6.7 on the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and vehicle users using Old Bell Close, with particular regard to on-street parking

What decided it

The condition is necessary and reasonable to prevent unacceptable harm to highway safety by ensuring garages remain available for car parking rather than being converted, thereby preventing unsafe on-street parking practices on a road with limited capacity and restricted visibility.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy GEN1 of the Uttlesford Local Plan (2005)
