Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development would result in increased on-street parking to the detriment of road safety
  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of occupiers of 24 Queens Road with regard to privacy, noise and disturbance

What decided it

The provision of 8 additional on-site car parking spaces exceeding the development's requirement, combined with the availability of nearby public parking and the single-storey design with adequate setback and screening, meant the proposal would not harm road safety or neighbouring living conditions.
