Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on highway safety
What decided it
The development would improve highway safety by separating the forecourt from the A47 carriageway with a grassed island and increasing spacing between fuel pumps, outweighing the Highway Authority's principled objection to refuelling on highway land.

- Development plan policies
- Policy SP15
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 115
