Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on highway safety

What decided it

The proposed residential development would not be detrimental to highway safety as it would result in lower traffic volumes than the existing community use, the access would be improved to enhance visibility and safety, and the site is in a highly sustainable location with good access to services and public transport.
