Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on highway and pedestrian safety
What decided it
The siting of the proposed access on a straighter section of road, combined with the 20mph speed restriction, light traffic volumes, absence of collision data, and the existence of similar substandard accesses in the area that function safely, demonstrated that the proposal would not create unacceptable highway safety impacts despite not meeting full visibility guidelines.
