Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed extension of the existing dropped kerb would unacceptably impact on highway and pedestrian safety

What decided it

The existing dropped kerb has been used for parking without enforcement action, a compact vehicle can park clear of the pavement, the Highway Authority accepts the extension would improve access safety, and the Highway Authority retains powers to control any future obstruction—therefore the proposal does not present an unacceptable impact on highway safety.
