Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on highway and pedestrian safety
  • whether the proposed development meets the mandatory requirements for Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG)

What decided it

The harmful effect on highway and pedestrian safety arising from the constrained site layout, narrow access, limited visibility, inadequate turning space and non-compliant parking provision, which would result in vehicles reversing onto the public highway and conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians on an already heavily trafficked road.
