Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on highway safety

What decided it

The development would not result in any significant increase in traffic on Brogden Lane and would not cause harm to highway or pedestrian safety, thereby complying with the development plan and NPPF.

No balancing exercise was undertaken; the proposal was found to accord with the development plan with no material considerations weighing against it.
