Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development upon highway safety with regard to the provision of car parking and turning space
- The living conditions of future occupants with regard to the provision of external space
What decided it
The limited size and short-term nature of the holiday let would not generate significantly more vehicular movements or parking demand than the existing large dwelling, and the absence of compelling evidence of highway safety harm or unacceptable living conditions impacts meant the proposal complied with the development plan.
