Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the siting and means of construction of the private way is appropriate, having regard to highways impact
What decided it
The limited number of timber vehicle movements per year (approximately 20), combined with the size restriction to 30 tonne vehicles and the ability to turn within the appellant's land, meant the siting of the private way was appropriate having regard to highways impact.
