Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety and use
What decided it
The intensification of use of the private access would increase the risk of accidents and confusion at the roundabout, creating substantial harm to highway safety that outweighed the moderate benefits of additional housing and retail use.
The substantial harm to highway safety and use outweighed the moderate benefits of 4 additional housing units and retail provision, even when assessed under the tilted balance triggered by the Council's inadequate housing land supply
