Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area with particular reference to the proposed changes to the existing wall at the junction of The Chase and Gaul Road and the proposed widening of the carriageway of The Chase
  • 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.

Plan policies cited: Policy LP16, Policy LP15
