Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on highway safety

What decided it

The speed survey demonstrating actual speeds do not exceed 40 mph for most of the day, combined with the small number of additional vehicles that would turn right at the junction and the absence of recorded accidents, meant the proposal would not have a material impact on highway safety.
