Core Refusal Reason
Loss of public on-street parking and inadequate off-street parking depth leading to pedestrian safety risks.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The removal of an on-street parking space to facilitate private access reduces public parking supply and sets an undesirable precedent.
- The proposed 4.7m parking bay depth is inadequate, likely resulting in vehicle overhang onto the public footpath.
- The development poses a safety hazard to pedestrians and fails to comply with standards for parking in front gardens.
