Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on highway safety
What decided it
A vehicle reversing into the main carriageway between parked vehicles would result in increased highway safety concerns that could not be adequately controlled by condition.
The potential benefits of sustainable energy use and an electric charging point were outweighed by the increased potential for harm with regard to road safety.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy S10 of the West Northamptonshire Joint Core Strategy 2014
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.
