Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on highway efficiency, highway safety and air quality
- Whether or not, given the location of utility services, the proposed access is viable
What decided it
The Inspector's conclusion that none of the identified highway safety, efficiency, air quality or viability concerns amounted to an unacceptable or severe impact, meaning no conflict with the development plan or Framework existed.
With no identified conflict with the development plan or Framework and clear economic and housing benefits, the presumption in favour of sustainable development applied and the appeal was allowed.
