Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the existing access provides safe pedestrian access
- If it does, is condition No.8 necessary in its present form having regard to the reason it was imposed
What decided it
The existing access does not provide safe pedestrian access due to poor sightlines, exposure to vehicle conflict, and lack of refuge, whereas the approved access would substantially improve pedestrian safety and visibility, making condition No.8 necessary in its present form.
