Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the operation of the access, with particular regard to the available visibility splays
  • whether the proposed development would affect the integrity of the SPA, SAC and Ramsar site(s) at Hamford Water Ramsar

What decided it

The proposal does not adequately demonstrate that safe access can be achieved without causing substantial detriment to highway safety, as the visibility splays fall substantially short of the 2.4m by 215m requirement for a 60mph road.
