| 1. | The private parking court in which the application site is situated was
designed and laid out to provide car parking facilities for the residents
of, and visitors to, Nos. 25, 27, 29 and 31 Dover Court in accordance with
the Borough Council's adopted standards. The Council considers that the
proposal would result in a loss of off-street car parking space, that is
presently available, to the detriment of the residential amenities of the
locality. Moreover, the proposal, if permitted, could set a precedent for
the erection of garages, or other buildings, on other car parking spaces
within the estate to the further detriment of residential amenity and
highway safety. |
