Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety having particular regard to the cumulative effect of traffic including HGVs on surrounding roads
What decided it
The absence of a sufficiently robust and enforceable mechanism to secure HGV routing away from the village of Endmoor meant the proposal would have an unacceptable effect on highway safety.
