Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety, with specific regard to manoeuvring within the site, the adequacy of the access road and parking provision
What decided it
The proposal would have an adverse effect on highway safety due to insufficient manoeuvring space within the site, as the four marked parking spaces would eliminate the ability for vehicles to turn within the yard and would necessitate reversing along the constrained alleyway.
