Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the siting and appearance of the proposed installation on pedestrian safety along the John Charles Approach
- whether any harm would occur and if so, whether this is outweighed by the need for the installation to be sited as proposed taking into account any suitable alternatives
What decided it
The proposal would leave approximately 1.8m of useable footway for a very short section, which is sufficient for pedestrians to pass safely without being forced onto the road.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy T2 of the Council's Core Strategy (2019)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 111
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.
