Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the use of the proposed access on the safety of pedestrians, cyclists and drivers using the surrounding highway network
What decided it
The traffic modelling demonstrated that the proposed access would generate only modest reassigned flows that the existing highway network could safely accommodate without creating unacceptable safety risks at any of the key junctions.
The benefits of providing a secondary access to Trago Mills, which would relieve congestion at the main entrance and improve traffic flow, outweighed the concerns raised about highway safety, as the evidence demonstrated that the surrounding highway network could safely accommodate the modest increase in traffic flows.
