Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect that varying the condition would have on the local highway network
What decided it
The proposal would have an unacceptable and harmful effect on the local highway network due to the poor condition of Chiswell Green Lane and the potential use of the upgraded access by large vehicles, which would materially exacerbate existing road conditions.
The limited economic benefits to the appellant's business were outweighed by the considerable harm to the local highway network.
