Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety of pedestrians and all road users on Deepdale Road
What decided it
The proposed development would result in an unacceptable impact on highway safety due to inadequate visibility and manoeuvring requirements, conflicting with Policy ST2 and paragraph 111 of the Framework.
The personal circumstances of the appellant were given weight but did not outweigh the significant adverse effects on highway safety and the safe and efficient operation of the highway.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy ST2 of the Preston Local Plan 2012-26 Site Allocations & Development Management Policies, 2015
- 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.
