Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of 34 Albert Street and Chapman Court, with particular regard to privacy
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety
What decided it
The proposed sliding gates would require vehicles to wait on the road or partly across the layby while they opened, creating an unacceptable impact on highway safety by obstructing free flow of traffic.
