Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the removal of the footpath/cycle link would result in an unsustainable form of development with regard to social cohesion and accessibility to local services and facilities.
What decided it
The Inspector found that suitable alternative pedestrian/cycle routes existed and that highway improvements secured by the unilateral undertaking meant the loss of the direct footpath/cycle link would not create an unsustainable or socially isolated form of development.
the Inspector found no unacceptable harm to social cohesion, accessibility or highway safety from removal of the link, and that other matters raised did not outweigh or alter this conclusion, so the appeal succeeded
