Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the disputed condition requiring closure of the eastern access meets the six tests for planning conditions, having regard to the reason for its imposition, namely the effect on highway safety
What decided it
The absence of evidence demonstrating that retaining two access points would result in an overall increase in vehicular traffic or create an inherent highway safety risk meant the condition requiring closure was not necessary to ensure highway safety.
