Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether safe and fit-for-purpose access to the site would be provided, including consideration of whether acceptable waste collection arrangements have been demonstrated
  • The effect upon existing trees

What decided it

The proposal would not provide safe and fit-for-purpose access to the site due to the inevitable use of the narrow, constrained shared access by visiting vehicles, combined with the failure to secure acceptable waste collection arrangements in perpetuity.
