Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The specific impact of the development with regard to vehicular and pedestrian traffic on the use of Fairway and the use of the appeal site access and junction with Fairway
What decided it
The low frequency and volume of additional traffic generated by the development, combined with the feasibility of managing the narrow access drive through a priority system and improving visibility, meant that highway safety would not be compromised to an unacceptable degree.
The effective use of land to meet housing need, whilst safeguarding and improving the environment and ensuring safe and healthy living conditions, was achieved through the proposed development subject to conditions.
