Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on highway safety in the area
What decided it
The absence of satisfactory evidence that the development gives rise to an unacceptable hazard to highway safety, combined with the site's successful operation for several years without demonstrable adverse impacts, outweighed the Council's theoretical concerns about traffic queuing and collision risks.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy T2UDP Policy GP5
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 110
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.
