Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on highway safety with particular regard to the adequacy of the proposed delivery bay.

What decided it

The submitted tracking evidence demonstrating that delivery vehicles could be accommodated within the proposed delivery bay without reversing or obstructing the highway, combined with the removal of the existing closer access point and implementation of protective measures secured by condition, meant the proposal would not harm highway safety.

Framework references: 56

Plan policies cited: Policy CS8 of the South Gloucestershire Local Plan Core Strategy 2006-2027, Policy PSP11 of the South Gloucestershire Local Plan Policies, Sites and Places Plan
