Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The adequacy of parking provision with regard to highway safety
What decided it
The site-specific circumstances of the road, where existing driveways similarly fall short of the SPD standard and vehicles can be accommodated at an angle, meant the proposal would not adversely affect highway safety despite the technical breach of driveway length guidance.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM6.1
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
