Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The main issue in the appeal is the effect of the proposal on highway safety.

What decided it

The Inspector's conclusion that the proposed access and highway arrangements would not result in an unacceptable impact on highway safety, meaning the proposal accorded with SADMP Policy DM17 and the development plan as a whole.

Having found the proposal accorded with the development plan as a whole and identified no other harms, the Inspector concluded there were no matters that justified refusal, and the appeal was allowed without needing to apply the tilted balance.
