Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the transport and highways impacts of the development, in terms of whether the proposal would be prejudicial to the safety of users of the highway
What decided it
The combination of the nature of the A68 as a fast-moving principal inter-regional road, the speed of traffic, the inadequate eastward visibility at the junction, and the poor passing opportunities on the access would make additional vehicular movements prejudicial to highway safety.
