Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- effect of the proposal on highway safety
- effect of the proposal on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to outlook and natural light for the occupiers of 1 Selbourne Avenue
- effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal would harm highway safety by forcing reliance on informal parking on a classified distributor road without formal approval or evidence of safe vehicle manoeuvres, and would harm the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through loss of outlook and potential overshadowing.
