Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development upon highway safety

What decided it

The detailed highway evidence demonstrating that the additional traffic generation would have no material effect on highway safety, with accident analysis showing no inherent defect in the access or A429 junction that the proposal might exacerbate.

The limited economic benefits of rural diversification and support to the rural business were outweighed by the absence of any prejudicial effect on highway safety and compliance with the development plan and Framework, allowing the appeal.
