Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect that removing the condition would have on the safe operation of the highway in the vicinity of the appeal site
What decided it
The number of vehicle movements directly attributable to the four letting rooms would not increase as a result of disaggregating the uses, and there is no evidence that removal of the condition would result in a material intensification of access use that would compromise highway safety.

- Development plan policies
- Policy DM4 of the Bassetlaw Core Strategy 2011
