Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on highway safety
What decided it
The limited volume of traffic that would use the narrow section of Welham Lane, combined with good visibility and the availability of laybys for vehicles to wait, means the narrow width would not lead to unsafe manoeuvres.
The proposal complies with the development plan as a whole, and the appeal is allowed.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy IN2
