Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the effects of the proposal on highway safety
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area by disrupting the visual rhythm of the street, and would reduce parking provision below policy requirements in an area already experiencing parking stress, thereby conflicting with design and highway safety policies.
