Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The need for the proposed development with particular regard to the landbank position for sand and gravel and the need for inert waste disposal in the County
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety and the free flow of traffic
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of nearby residential dwellings with particular regard to dust, air quality and noise
What decided it
The inability to achieve the necessary visibility splays and the resulting unacceptable highway safety risk on the local highway network outweighed the benefits of the proposal.
The significant weight given to the need for sand and gravel and inert waste supply was significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the unacceptable highway safety risk, so the appeal was dismissed.
