Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on highway safety having regard to traffic and access

What decided it

The proposal would result in an unacceptable impact on highway safety due to the need for vehicles to reverse along a narrow, poorly-lit carriageway with limited visibility to reach informal passing places, and the introduction of heavy goods vehicles that the informal passing places could not safely accommodate.
