Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on highway safety

What decided it

The minor increase in traffic from a single dwelling, coupled with the particular circumstances of the road geometry and highway restrictions, would not harm highway safety despite the substandard A360 junction.

The benefits of allowing residential development on a site within an established residential area outweighed the concerns about the substandard junction and narrow access road, given the absence of substantive evidence of harm and the particular highway circumstances.
