Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the proposed development on the safety of other highway users
- the effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the streetscene
What decided it
The absence of information about visibility splays to demonstrate that increased vehicle manoeuvring would not endanger pedestrians, combined with unmitigated risk to a street tree's survival, rendered the development unacceptable.
