Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would be consistent with local policies relating to the location of new housing development
  • The effect of the proposed development upon the safe and efficient operation of the local highway network
  • Whether the proposed development provides adequate foul and surface water disposal
  • The effect of the proposed development on the River Wye Special Area of Conservation (SAC)

What decided it

The proposed development would adversely affect highway safety due to the narrow private track access and unresolved ownership issues preventing the imposition of an enforceable Grampian condition to secure necessary widening works, combined with an inadequate drainage strategy that could not ensure satisfactory foul and surface water disposal.
