Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The main issue therefore is whether the visibility splay associated with the access proposed would have any significant adverse impact on highway safety.

What decided it

The visibility splays achievable at the proposed access, assessed against DMRB absolute minimum standards using site-specific speed survey data, were found acceptable with no significant adverse impact on highway safety.

The proposal accords with the development plan and there are no material considerations, including the Framework, indicating a decision should be made otherwise than in accordance with it, so the appeal was allowed.

Framework references: 114, 115

Plan policies cited: Policy TI1

Read the decision letter on the Inspectorate’s site

The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
