Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether prior approval should be granted having regard to the transport and highway impacts of the proposal
What decided it
The transport and highway impacts of the development could not be demonstrated as acceptable, particularly given the narrow, unsurfaced nature of Paynes Lane, the absence of planning controls to limit vehicle size, and insufficient evidence of vehicle movement numbers.
