Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed 2 bed flat in respect of on-street parking and the safety of the local highway network
What decided it
The appellant's failure to provide a parking beat survey demonstrating that there would be no harm to highway safety from increased on-street parking demand meant the proposal could not be approved despite the Council's lack of five-year housing land supply.
The benefits of adding a small but important residential unit were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse effect on highway safety from unmitigated on-street parking demand
