Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the installation on highway safety, having regard to the available width of the shared footway/cycleway

What decided it

The retained footway widths exceed the relevant national and local standards for utilities apparatus in areas of high pedestrian flow, and existing pinch points demonstrate that similar constraints do not result in unacceptable safety harm.
