Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on highway safety
What decided it
The small area of space lost due to the fence's position, whilst making manoeuvring slightly more difficult, was not crucial to the parking area's functionality and would not result in drivers being more likely to reverse into the road, thus not increasing highway safety concerns.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy QE6 of the Warrington Local Plan Core Strategy 2014Warrington Local Plan 2021/22 - 2038/39
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
