Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Effect of the proposed development on highway safety
- Effect of the proposed development on nature conservation
- Effect of the proposed development on fire safety
- Effect of the proposed development on protected trees
What decided it
The proposal would create an unacceptable increased risk to highway safety due to constrained access width and poor visibility onto Kenley Lane, combined with uncertainty that the stabling would be compatible with the nature conservation management requirements for the protected grassland.
