Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development makes provision for safe vehicular, pedestrian and cycle access, with particular regard to the proximity of the proposed site access to existing junctions along Green Lane, and its role as a highway connecting key visitor attractions to the town of Whitby
What decided it
The site's allocation for housing in the up-to-date Scarborough Borough Local Plan and the Inspector's satisfaction that the proposed access arrangements provide safe vehicular, pedestrian and cycle access in accordance with Policy DEC1 were decisive.
The benefits of delivering housing on an allocated site in an up-to-date development plan outweighed the unsubstantiated concerns raised by objectors regarding traffic, design, character and local services.
Framework references: 57
Plan policies cited: Policy HA19, Policy DEC1
