Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety and the highway network
- whether the site is in a suitable location for the proposal having regard to local and national development objectives for the location of development and accessibility
- whether the proposal makes adequate provision for BNG
What decided it
The unresolved capacity of the local highway network (the C292 and the crossroads with the A345) to safely accommodate the development's vehicular movements, combined with the site's car-dependent rural location, was determinative.
Significant weight to economic benefits and moderate weight to BNG/sustainable construction benefits did not outweigh the harm arising from unresolved highway safety concerns and the resulting conflict with CS policies CP1, CP2, CP60, CP61 and CP62, which was found determinative and led to dismissal.
Plan policies cited: CS core policy 34, CS core policy CS34, CS policies 60, 61 and 62, CS policies CP1, CP2, CP60, CP61 and CP62, CS core policy 50
