Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse the application for a lawful development certificate was well founded

What decided it

The parking space would be insufficient in depth (4.92-4.97m against a required 5m minimum) such that a parked car would likely overhang the pavement, creating an obstruction to highway users and danger contrary to Article 3(6) of the GPDO.
