Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the proposal on the safety of those using the adjacent highway, including the pavement and the cycle lane

What decided it

The proposed parking area is too small to allow vehicles to turn, requiring reversing manoeuvres that would be hazardous on this busy classified road with a cycle lane and would prejudice the free and safe use of the adjacent highway.
