Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on highway safety

What decided it

The proposal would create an unacceptable adverse impact on highway safety through inadequate parking depth and obstructed visibility for vehicles exiting the driveway, which cannot be justified by the moderate benefits for disabled access.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy TP06
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 116

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
