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.
