Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on highway safety

What decided it

The substandard visibility at the Watery Lane/A48 junction when emerging to the southwest, combined with the increased traffic from seven dwellings, would create an unacceptable impact on highway safety that significantly and demonstrably outweighs the housing supply benefits.

the significant adverse impact of substandard highway safety outweighed the benefits of housing delivery and economic benefits, such that the proposal would not be sustainable development and the conflict with the development plan was not outweighed by other considerations including the Framework

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy INF1 of the Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury Joint Core Strategy 2011-2031
National Planning Policy Framework
