Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • effect of the proposed development on highway safety
  • effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers through noise disturbance and air quality

What decided it

The absence of substantive technical evidence supporting the Council's highway safety concerns, combined with the County Highway Authority's acceptance of the scheme subject to conditions, and the adequacy of proposed mitigation measures for noise and air quality impacts, justified allowing the appeal.

Framework references: 110, 111, 105, 174, 57
