Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The main issue is the effect of the proposed development on highway safety, with particular regard to the effects and mitigation of traffic and queuing of vehicles.
What decided it
The Inspector concluded that the zero mitigation scenario's increased queuing on Leven Road, though significant, did not amount to a 'severe' cumulative impact on the road network under Framework paragraph 111.
the acceptable (non-severe) highway impact of the zero mitigation scheme, together with the substantial affordable housing benefit, meant the proposal complied with the Framework and the development plan as a whole, with no material considerations against granting permission
Framework references: 111, 110, 57
