Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether condition 7 is reasonable and necessary in the interests of highway safety

What decided it

The alternative secondary access via the agricultural track to the west would be acceptable in highway safety terms and could accommodate larger deliveries, justifying variation rather than removal of condition 7.

Plan policies cited: Uttlesford Local Plan Policy GEN1, Highway Authority's Development Management Policies

Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
