Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on highway safety, with particular regard to sight lines

What decided it

The individual characteristics of the scheme and context of the site, including the lightly trafficked nature of the road, low speeds, frequent existing access points with comparable visibility, and the gradient reducing speeds, demonstrate that the proposed development would not harm highway safety despite a technical breach of Manual for Gloucestershire Streets visibility standards.
