Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The safety of the public, with reference to highway safety
What decided it
The marginal nature of any additional waiting time caused by the gate opening, combined with good visibility of the access point and the absence of existing highway safety issues at driveway accesses on this road, means the development would not result in significant harm to highway safety.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy ID3
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 108Paragraph 114
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
