I think the councillor has just got the labels the wrong way round, easy to do. I can illustrate how easy the mistake is to make with reference to Edinburgh (famous Georgian architecture although this pic is from the Old Town) and Utrecht:
The councillor is right - the parking will be a hideous blight on the street. Rather than allowing people to do it if they pay, they could try banning it altogether - that would solve the problem.
I'm sorry, Cllr England, tell me again about this hideous blight of yours?
