Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development proposed on highway and pedestrian safety
What decided it
The limited additional vehicular impact of a single use in an already intensively used area, combined with the Highway Authority's lack of objection and the absence of historical safety concerns, meant the proposal would not have an unacceptable effect on highway or pedestrian safety.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Spatial Policy 7 of the Newark and Sherwood Amended Core Strategy (March 2019)Policy DM5 of the Allocations and Development Management Development Plan Document (July 2013)
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.
