Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether or not the details supplied by the appellant are sufficient to comply with condition No 21.

What decided it

The Stage 2 Road Safety Audit and other submitted drawings demonstrated that the proposed roads and footways would not be unsafe, satisfying the requirements of condition 21 without needing to meet the higher standard required for formal highway adoption.

Plan policies cited: policy T10 of the Kirklees Unitary Development Plan (UDP), policy 21 of the Kirklees Local Plan (LP)
