Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on highway safety

What decided it

The forecourt is substandard in depth, meaning vehicles parked perpendicularly would overhang the pavement and obstruct pedestrians, creating unacceptable highway safety hazards.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy CSP1 of the Newcastle-Under-Lyme and Stoke-on-Trent Core Spatial Strategy 2006-2026Policy T16 of the Newcastle-Under-Lyme Local Plan 2011

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.
