Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect the removal of condition 6 and varying conditions 2 and 3 would have on the safety of the users of the shared access and the immediate road network
What decided it
The Highway Authority's confirmation that the access would be adequate to accommodate four parking spaces and its support for removal of condition 6, combined with the absence of recorded accidents and the highway report's findings of good visibility and adequate widths, demonstrated that pedestrian and highway safety would not be unacceptably compromised.
