Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether there would be adequate external amenity area for future occupiers of the proposed development
- The effect of the development, as a result of there being no parking provision, on highway safety and residential amenity
- The effect of the proposed front extension and the cycle storage and waste bins on the character and appearance of the streetscene
What decided it
The proposal fails on all three main issues: inadequate external amenity space, harmful parking impacts on highway safety and residential amenity, and detrimental effects on streetscene character and appearance.
