Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on parking conditions and consequently highway safety and the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring properties

What decided it

The Local Highway Authority's absence of objection regarding parking and highway safety, combined with observed on-street parking availability and the limited frequency of staff changeovers, demonstrated that the proposed use would not cause unacceptable harm to parking conditions, highway safety or neighbouring living conditions.
