Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the retention of condition 2 that requires that a new footpath extends up to and allows access into the adjacent park is necessary to ensure that the development is accessible and provides appropriate pedestrian links to the park, taking account of whether such access would result in anti-social behaviour, additional crime and disorder or the fear of crime and disorder
What decided it
The well-designed footpath with appropriate secured by design principles (straight alignment, regular lighting, natural surveillance) means that reinstating access to the park would not create unacceptable crime and disorder risks, and blocking it conflicts with development plan policies requiring accessible, well-connected places.
Plan policies cited: Policy P1, Policy P2, Policy P3, Policy P4, Policy IN4, Policy IN1
