Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Highway safety
  • Character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The unacceptable impact on highway safety from vehicles being required to reverse across the footway at a location with traffic calming measures and competing pedestrian traffic, which the Inspector found would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the modest benefits of the proposal.

The adverse impacts of the development, particularly the unacceptable highway safety impact to which significant weight was attached, significantly and demonstrably outweighed the very modest cumulative benefits of the proposal when assessed against the policies in the Framework taken as a whole.
