Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect that the varying of condition 2 and the removal of condition 13 would have on vehicular movements and, in turn, the effects upon the living conditions of the occupants of neighbouring properties and highway safety
What decided it
The modest number of additional vehicular movements that would result from the development, combined with the dead-end nature of Carrick Square and light prevailing traffic conditions on surrounding streets, would not cause unacceptable harm to highway safety or the living conditions of neighbouring residents.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- SP6IP2HO2
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 130
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
