Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location for development having regard to the development plan and national policy
- The effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- Whether the proposed development would be accessible, with particular regard to the provision of footway links for non-motorised users
What decided it
The proposed development cannot be made accessible in a safe manner for non-motorised users because a satisfactory footway and cycleway cannot be feasibly delivered on Burtree Lane within the existing highway constraints.
