Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and the area
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety
- whether any harm would be outweighed by other considerations, with particular regard to the best interests of the child or children, the HRA and PSED
What decided it
The unacceptable highway safety implications arising from intensified pedestrian and vehicular movements at a location with a significant accident record, combined with insufficient mitigation measures and inadequate transport planning, could not be outweighed by the educational and equality benefits of the proposal.
