Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location with particular regard to its effect on highway safety and the safety of pedestrians
- Whether any harm arising from the proposed development would be outweighed by other considerations
What decided it
The Inspector's own site visit findings, including the availability of a safe alternative route via Cinder Lane, led him to conclude the site was in a safe and suitable location for walking and cycling, removing the highway/pedestrian safety objection that had previously led to dismissal.
As the proposal was found to comply with the development plan as a whole and no significant harm was identified, the balance favoured allowing the appeal without need to weigh personal circumstances or need.
