Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of varying condition 9 on the transport network, highway safety and the delivery of the off-site junction improvement works
What decided it
The absence of substantive evidence demonstrating material change in circumstances or that junction improvements are no longer required, combined with the Highways Authority's confirmation that mitigation measures remain necessary, means the condition remains justified and its removal would adversely affect highway safety and the transport network.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM3.11Policy 20 JCS
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 57Paragraph 115Paragraph 116
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.
