Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether varying condition 2 would give rise to any unacceptable harm to highway safety, specifically in relation to (a) access to neighbouring properties; and (b) the parking arrangements serving the appeal scheme

What decided it

The removal of the approved access and introduction of unsafe parking arrangements would create unacceptable harm to highway safety by forcing reliance on a substandard alternative access and requiring reversing manoeuvres on a busy classified road with high pedestrian activity.
