Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the details submitted are sufficient and acceptable to discharge Condition 13, having regard to the width of the proposed riverside walk / cycleway

What decided it

The proposed riverside walk/cycleway, at 2m–2.8m wide, does not meet the 3m minimum width recommended for shared pedestrian and cycle routes and therefore would not allow safe and convenient passage for all potential users.

What the Inspector cited

Policy GE17 of the Sheffield Unitary Development Plan (1998)
