Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the location of the subject building would make it impractical for the proposed development, having particular regard to accessibility
What decided it
The location would not be impractical for the proposed development because realistic pedestrian access could be achieved via the gate and short connecting strip of land, notwithstanding the absence of hard surfacing.
