Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on highway safety
  • Whether adequate drainage arrangements have been demonstrated to prevent surface water run-off onto the public highway

What decided it

The width of the carriageway, low-speed environment, clear visibility, and presence of comparable neighbouring crossovers in materially similar circumstances demonstrated that reversing manoeuvres could be undertaken safely without impeding traffic or highway safety.
