Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would result in a net loss of parking provision having specific regard to the Council's car parking requirements for dwelling houses

What decided it

The existing garage did not meet the Local Plan's minimum size requirements to be counted as a parking space, so its conversion would not result in a net loss of parking provision contrary to Policy TA3.
