What decided it
The reduction in overall vehicle movements from the use of larger HGVs, combined with evidence that the proposed alternative route would not result in unacceptable impacts on highway safety or significant harm to character, appearance, or living conditions, justified allowing the appeal and varying the HGV routing condition.
