Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on highway safety

What decided it

The absence of recorded personal injury collisions at existing substandard accesses in the vicinity, combined with the low traffic generation from a single dwelling and the likelihood of cautious driver behaviour on the road, demonstrated that the visibility splay shortfall would not result in unacceptable highway safety impacts.

Development plan policies
Policy T16 of the Newcastle Under Lyme Local Plan (2003)Policy CSP1 of the Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stoke-on-Trent Core Spatial Strategy 2006-2026 (2009)
