Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would make adequate provision for waste collections
- Whether the proposed development would provide safe and suitable access and servicing arrangements, in the interests of pedestrian and highway safety
What decided it
The Local Highway Authority's lack of objection to the proposed development on highway safety grounds, combined with the modest scale of the scheme and the Inspector's site observations confirming adequate visibility, lighting and natural surveillance, demonstrated that safe and suitable access and servicing arrangements could be achieved.
