Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect that removing condition 24 would have on highway safety

What decided it

The removal of condition 24 would create an unacceptable risk that the electric car charging service station would be used as a general car park or destination, thereby harming highway safety, and there is no substantive evidence that this risk can be fully mitigated by other means.
