Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- the safety and convenience of highway users
What decided it
The scheme would preserve the character and appearance of the Hanger Hill (Haymills) Estate Conservation Area and would not have a harmful impact on the safety and convenience of highway users, despite the hardstanding slightly exceeding the recommended threshold, given the established character of the area and the low-risk highway context.
