What decided it
The failure to demonstrate adequate visibility splays and the unassessed risk of harm to the pavement tree's stability and long-term health created unacceptable harm to highway safety and biodiversity that could not be outweighed by private benefits.
The private benefits of off-street parking and electric vehicle charging were afforded limited weight and did not outweigh the harm to highway safety and biodiversity identified in the development plan.
