Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The impact of the proposal on highway safety with particular regard to pedestrian safety
What decided it
The inability to secure safe forward-gear egress from the parking space without using land outside the appellant's control, requiring vehicles to reverse a substantial distance around a blind corner into a pedestrian area, which would significantly harm highway safety.
The benefits of delivering a new home and more efficient use of land were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the substantial adverse impact on highway safety and pedestrian safety.
