Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on highway and pedestrian safety
  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The development will result in a substantial increase in on-street parking on Chapel Lane, a narrow road without verges or footpaths, which will materially increase conflict between vehicles and pedestrians and inhibit traffic movement, causing unacceptable harm to highway and pedestrian safety.
