Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on highway and pedestrian safety, having particular regard to the proposed internal layout and access arrangements
What decided it
The proposed internal layout and access arrangements would create unacceptable highway and pedestrian safety conditions that significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits of housing delivery and economic contribution.
The modest benefits of 12 dwellings on previously developed land in a sustainable location and economic contributions were outweighed by the significant harm to highway and pedestrian safety arising from the constrained internal layout and access arrangements, with the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighing the benefits when assessed against the Framework as a whole.
