Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Preston Park Conservation Area
- The effect of the vehicle parking and crossovers on highway safety with regard to the adequacy of the visibility splays to either side of the access
What decided it
The inadequate visibility splays at vehicle crossovers creating highway safety risks for pedestrians and vehicles, combined with harm to the conservation area's character through loss of boundary walls and green space, outweighed the modest public benefits of additional parking.
