Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The development preserved the character and appearance of the terrace and did not introduce additional highway safety risk, as the existing local conditions already necessitated cautious driving and the proposed parking arrangement was consistent with neighbouring properties.

- Development plan policies
- Policy D1Policy TC7Policy CA24
