Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on highway safety

What decided it

The heightened risk of collision and compromise to pedestrian safety caused by restricted visibility from parked vehicles and the need for reversing manoeuvres on a busy strategic road outweighed the environmental benefits of the proposal.

The environmental benefit of facilitating electric/hybrid vehicle use was outweighed by the harm to public safety from highway visibility and manoeuvring risks.
