Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed dwelling would be acceptable in terms of highway safety, specifically the loss of the turning/manoeuvring area and vehicular access via Laburnam Close
What decided it
The loss of the essential turning and manoeuvring area that serves the existing two dwellings, combined with the addition of a further dwelling that would increase demand for this facility, creates an unacceptable highway safety conflict that outweighs the housing supply benefit.
The adverse effect on highway safety would demonstrably outweigh the benefit of one additional dwelling when assessed against the Framework policies taken as a whole and the policies in the Island Plan Core Strategy
Framework references: 11, 114
Plan policies cited: Policy DM2 of the Island Plan Core Strategy 2012
