Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed dwelling would be in an appropriate location, having regard to settlement policies within the local plan
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety, with particular regard to the access to and from the site
What decided it
The change in the speed limit along High Street from 30mph to 20mph reduced the required visibility splay from 45 metres to 25 metres, which could now be accommodated within the appellant's land ownership and public highway, thereby resolving the highway safety concern that had led to the original refusal.
