Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
the effect of the proposal on highway safety

What decided it

The proposal would have a detrimental effect on highway safety due to inadequate visibility splays at the junction of Chestnut Copse and London Road, restricted by a mature tree, combined with the narrow width of the access road which could lead to vehicle conflicts and reversing onto the public highway.

Plan policies cited: Policy 12 of the Amended Core Strategy, Policy SP7 of the Core Strategy, Policy DM5 of the Newark & Sherwood Local Development Framework, Allocations & Development Management Development Plan Document, Policy DM7 of the Newark & Sherwood Local Development Framework, Allocations & Development Management Development Plan Document
