Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the details in respect of Condition 6 would be acceptable, with particular regards to highway safety
What decided it
The good visibility at the point where the footpath meets Coates Lane, combined with the lane's light traffic and existing pedestrian use, means that the brief use of the lane by residents would not create an unacceptable highway safety risk.
