Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on highway safety

What decided it

The development would require vehicles to make potentially dangerous reversing manoeuvres on a busy A-road, unacceptably harming highway safety in conflict with NPPF policy.

The appellant's personal circumstances and the benefits of on-property parking and electric vehicle charging did not outweigh the unacceptable harm to highway safety.

What the Inspector cited
