Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on highway safety
  • whether there are other material considerations sufficient to outweigh any harm identified in respect of the first issue

What decided it

The proposed driveway would have an unacceptable impact on highway safety through inadequate depth, lack of turning facility, and substandard visibility splays, which cannot be overcome by planning conditions and would put occupiers and other road users at unacceptable risk of harm.
