The proposed raised parking would have a harmful effect on the appearance of the property in the streetscene which generally has an open plan boundary setting and would therefore be contrary to General Policy 2 b and c, having regard to the Department's Residential Design Guidance 2019. Whilst the proposal would create additional off street parking spaces, the property already has two parking spaces which meets the Department's requirement for residential dwelling and the proposed parking would reduce the on-street parking which would not result in a net benefit.
