Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety
What decided it
The existing use of the access without recorded harm to highway safety, combined with the natural traffic-calming effects of the unmade road surface and limited visibility, meant that the failure to meet Manual for Streets visibility splay standards would not result in material highway danger.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS16
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 55
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
