Highway safety

What decided it

The proposed highway improvements to The Chase (widening to 4.5m and junction realignment) overcome the previous Inspector's highway safety objections and accord with the Local Highways Authority's assessment, while the modest scale of wall demolition and replacement would not harm character and appearance.
