Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety in Laneham Street
What decided it
The substandard visibility from the proposed driveway for vehicles emerging onto Laneham Street, particularly those approaching from the north in close proximity, would create an unacceptable impact on highway safety that could not be adequately mitigated.
The benefits of the proposal do not outweigh the harm identified from the substandard visibility and intensification of use.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM4
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 111
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.
