- highway safety
- whether the scheme would encourage non-car modes of travel
What decided it
The combined harm from the scheme's design and siting to the character of the area and conservation area, harm to neighbours' living conditions, and the creation of a significant pedestrian obstacle at the Green Lane access outweighed the benefits of the proposal.
The economic, employment and retail benefits of the scheme were outweighed by the harm to the character of the area including the conservation area, harm to neighbouring living conditions, and the pedestrian safety obstacle at the Green Lane access.
