Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The condition was not necessary to maintain highway safety given the low traffic flows on Church Road, absence of recorded accidents, minimal vehicle movements from the modest proposal, and the inevitable cautious approach drivers would take when passing through the access.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- TR01TR02
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 56
