The assumption that "Car ownership is well over 1 per household." is not evidenced and according to common sense is not correct.
As clearly shown from images of the area:

car parking in most of these streets is one side of the road only. The width of a car is around the same as the width of a house, and space is needed for reversing. The ownership level on those streets therefore cannot be greater than around 0.45.
Heavy car ownership in this area is inappropriate - car clubs should be used instead, given lack of space.
