Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety
What decided it
The provision of the drop kerb would not result in a materially increased risk to highway safety because right-turning vehicles would not be unexpected and drivers would already be slowing down approaching the roundabout.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 8 of the North Northamptonshire Core Strategy
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 56
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.
