Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would be consistent with local and national policies relating to the location of new housing development and access to facilities and services
  • the effect of the proposal upon highway safety

What decided it

The proposal's poor accessibility to services and facilities combined with the inability to achieve safe visibility splays at the proposed access meant it conflicted with development plan policies and the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the modest housing and economic benefits.
