- Inspector
- Simpson V
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on highway safety
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development, with particular regard to the effect it would have on the rural economy and on nearby land uses
What decided it
The development would cause unacceptable harm to highway safety due to insufficient visibility splays at the access onto Frouds Lane, which could not be adequately remedied by condition, and this harm outweighs any benefits to the rural economy.
