Core Planning Reasoning
The Inspector recommends granting permission and amending Condition 2 to allow for one on-site car parking space, concluding that it is justified by the established pattern of development in the cul-de-sac and complies with the flexibility afforded by SPPR 3 of the Sustainable Residential Development and Compact Settlements Guidelines.

- The loss of one on-street 'pay and display' parking space is acceptable given the cul-de-sac location and will not detrimentally impact traffic safety, public demand, or visual amenity.
