Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether or not the proposal would provide adequate parking provision with particular regard to relevant adopted local planning policies
What decided it
The proposed garage would not provide a safe, readily usable or accessible parking space meeting the Council's standards, and the loss of on-street parking would not be adequately compensated.
Plan policies cited: Policy BCS21, Policy DM26, Policy DM27, Policy DM30, Policy DM23
