Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on accessibility to services and facilities, with particular regard to nearby residents/commuters/pedestrians and cyclists
- whether any harm would be outweighed by other material considerations
What decided it
The clearly identifiable harm to accessibility for the wider population, particularly older and disabled people, outweighs the more limited benefits to the school community from enhanced facilities and improved public safety.
