Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the provision of off-street car parking

What decided it

The specific parking arrangements at the appeal site, whereby residents park 2 cars on the shared hardstanding in front of each dwelling rather than using the garages, meant that garage conversion would not reduce useable off-street parking provision.
