Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed access arrangement would be safe for all highway and pedestrian users
What decided it
The relatively small scale of the development generating limited traffic, combined with good visibility along the access road and the provision of passing spaces, meant that the proposed access arrangement would be safe for all highway and pedestrian users.
No balancing exercise was required as the Inspector found no harm from the development; the housing land supply position was noted but not determinative as no safety conflicts were identified.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy D8 of the Eastbourne Core Strategy 2013Policy TR7 of the Eastbourne Borough Plan 2003Policy UHT1 of the Eastbourne Borough Plan 2003
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 110Paragraph 111
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.
