Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The main issue is the effect of the proposed development on pedestrian safety and the resultant ability for future occupiers to gain access to goods and services safely by means other than the private car.
What decided it
The enhanced PV2 assessment and mitigation by a speed control sign demonstrated that the existing pedestrian crossing point, together with the alternative railway bridge route, provided a safe means of crossing Grange Road without the need for a signalised or zebra crossing.
