Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed access arrangements on the safety, and the recreational experience, of users of the bridleway

What decided it

The anticipated low level of vehicular movements and the existing physical characteristics of the track (good visibility, low speeds, and adequate passing places) mean the proposal would not result in an unacceptable intensification of traffic or compromise the safety and recreational experience of bridleway users.

Framework references: 111

Plan policies cited: Policy 10 of the County Durham Plan (2020), Policy 26 of the County Durham Plan (2020), Policy CCQ4 of the Cassop-cum-Quarrington Neighbourhood Plan
