Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on highway and pedestrian safety

What decided it

The development would not result in harm to highway and pedestrian safety as vehicle movements to and from the site are unlikely to significantly increase, and the proposal complies with Policy T1 of the Local Plan despite not conforming to specific technical guidance on crossover design.
