Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the safe use of the highway for vehicles and pedestrians

What decided it

The low likelihood of vehicle and pedestrian conflict on the narrow stretch of private road given the minimal additional traffic from a single dwelling, combined with adequate visibility and manoeuvring space, meant the proposal would not have an unacceptable impact on highway safety.
