Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on highway safety

What decided it

The existence of a lawful access that could be improved, combined with the absence of an unacceptable impact on highway safety as required by the NPPF, outweighed the conflict with the development plan policy.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy CP6 of the Wokingham Borough Core Strategy Development Plan Document (2010)
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 58

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.
