Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether provision of a footpath is necessary to ensure the safety of pedestrians
What decided it
The condition fails the NPPF tests for conditions as it would be unenforceable (lying outside the site boundary) and unnecessary (not connecting to a northern footpath and not essential for the care home scheme to proceed), and therefore would not be necessary to ensure pedestrian safety.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DDM1(10)Policy D DM1Policy HWB SP1Policy TSP 1Policy TM1Policy TM2
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
