Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed use on the living conditions of local residents in relation to vehicular activity and parking

What decided it

The small number of occupants and limited comings and goings associated with the proposed use would not result in a substantial increase in parked vehicles or vehicle movement that would unacceptably affect the living conditions of local residents in relation to vehicular activity and parking.
