Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety and the efficient operation of the highway network
- the effect of the proposed development on air quality
What decided it
The absence of substantiated evidence of severe or unacceptable harm to highway safety, traffic congestion or air quality meant the proposal complied with the development plan, tipping the balance in favour of the substantial housing benefits.
Substantial weight attached to housing delivery (including affordable housing) and moderate weight to economic and community benefits outweighed the limited harm to traffic congestion, with technical matters weighing neutrally, resulting in overall compliance with the development plan.
