Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether sufficient information has been provided in respect of the transport and highway impacts of the development, with particular regard to the suitability of the access, parking and turning space
What decided it
The existing access had operated effectively with zero injury accidents since 2010, and site-specific factors including the existing use of the access and the significant eastern visibility splay justified acceptance of the slightly reduced western visibility splay.
What the Inspector cited
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 56
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
