Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on highway safety, with particular regard to visibility
  • the effect of the development on the integrity of European, nationally, and internationally protected sites

What decided it

The access, although providing restricted visibility, would operate safely given the low speeds at which vehicles would exit, the light traffic on the rural lane, and the absence of recorded collisions, combined with adequate mitigation for protected sites through the Unilateral Undertaking.
