Land Rear Of Station Cottages, Uppingham Road, East Norton, LE7 9XL

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

• Whether the proposed development would be suitably located, having regard to local and national planning policies and to the accessibility to services and facilities
• The effect of the proposed development on highway safety

What decided it

The failure to demonstrate that the proposed development would not result in unacceptable harm to highway safety, which constitutes a fundamental policy conflict that outweighs the significant benefits of meeting unmet G&T need and the personal circumstances of the appellants.

The significant weight afforded to unmet G&T need and supply, absence of lawful alternative sites, and personal circumstances of the appellants was outweighed by the unacceptable impact on highway safety, which the Inspector found would not be in the best interests of any occupants including the children.
