Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of nearby occupiers with particular regard to parking
What decided it
The proposed development would result in unacceptable living conditions for nearby occupiers through excessive on-street parking demand on race days, occurring up to 7 times per year, which would be sufficiently frequent to constitute unacceptable harm that outweighs the modest benefits of the scheme.
