Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the location, the proposed land use and the amount of development is suitable, with particular regard to highway safety

What decided it

The low number of vehicular trips generated by a single dwelling would not result in a material increase in highway safety risk on either Wade Road or Dyers Lane, particularly given the presence of street lighting at key points, passing places, speed restrictions, and the absence of significant historical accident data.
