Why it was refused

  1. The development fails to demonstrate adequate off-street parking for the remodelled bungalow (No. 413) and provides no evidence that access to the neighbouring property (No. 415) would be safeguarded. The resulting loss of existing parking and the realistic prospect of displaced vehicles onto Cricklade Road would increase on street parking stress, obstruction and conflict between vehicles and pedestrians, with a consequent harmful impact to highway safety. The proposal therefore conflicts with Section 9 of the NPPF, Policies TR1 and TR2 of the Local Plan, and the DCGN Parking Standards (2021).

From the council's decision notice.
