Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would provide a safe and suitable level of sustainable connectivity to and from the approved housing development known as Wooding Close
- Whether the proposal would avoid an increase in the use of an unimproved junction that would be detrimental to pedestrian safety on the highway
What decided it
The approved footpath required by the original planning conditions provides a safer and more suitable route following the natural pedestrian desire line to village facilities, whereas the appeal proposal would increase use of an unimproved junction to the detriment of pedestrian safety.
The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
