Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the highway network and highway safety
What decided it
The proposal would result in significant harm to highway safety by increasing the risk of conflict between motorists, cyclists and pedestrians on Rock Hill, which would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery under paragraph 11(d) of the Framework.
The significant harm to highway safety and the detrimental impact on the suitability and quality of the environment for pedestrians and cyclists significantly and demonstrably outweighed the moderate benefits of housing delivery and the meaningful contribution to housing supply.
