Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on highway safety

What decided it

The proposed development would improve visibility at the site access compared to existing arrangements through topographical advantages and boundary wall lowering, and combined with low vehicle speeds and the road's good safety record, would not unacceptably harm highway safety.
