Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on highway and pedestrian safety
- The effect on a tree covered by a Tree Preservation Order
- The effect on surface water run-off rates
What decided it
The significant harm to pedestrian and highway safety caused by the proposed access, combined with insufficient evidence to safeguard the protected tree, outweighed the ability to control surface water run-off by condition.
The ability to control surface water run-off by condition could not outweigh the significant harm to pedestrian and highway safety and the failure to demonstrate protection of the protected tree.

- Development plan policies
- DMT1DMT2DMHB11DMHB14DMEI10
