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.

Plan policies cited: Policy 5 of the North East Lincolnshire Local Plan 2013-2031

- Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
- Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
- Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
- Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
