Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on highway safety
- whether the appeal site is grey belt land and whether the development would be inappropriate development in the Green Belt, having regard to the National Planning Policy Framework and development plan policies
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The development would have an unacceptable effect on highway safety due to the use of a substandard access with visibility splays that cannot be reliably secured and maintained.
