Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on highway safety

The visibility splays can be achieved within the public highway without requiring third-party consent, and any occasional vegetation encroachment would not unacceptably harm highway safety given the light traffic and low speeds on Melton Lane.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 1 of the Local Plan Part 2: Land and Planning Policies (2019)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 110Paragraph 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.
