Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- would create any highway safety issues
- would affect the living conditions of existing neighbouring residents, with particular regard to vehicle movements/parking
What decided it
The absence of objection from the Council's own Local Highway Authority, Highways England and the Environmental Protection Officer, combined with the ability to control residual concerns through conditions, meant neither main issue gave rise to demonstrable harm.
the proposed development accords with the development plan when taken as a whole, and there are no other material considerations that indicate otherwise, so the appeal was allowed
