Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the disputed condition is necessary and reasonable having regard to policies on highway safety and sustainable travel

What decided it

The fallback position of unrestricted existing equestrian use already generating car trips from non-residents meant the additional traffic from the proposed development would be negligible compared to the existing situation, making the restrictive condition unnecessary to ensure highway safety.
