Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on highway safety for the occupiers of the proposed development and the occupiers of 13 and 14 Westfield Road
- in the event of a policy conflict being identified in respect of the first main issue, whether material considerations indicate a decision other than in accordance with the development plan
What decided it
The existence of a fallback position with prior approval for residential use via the same constrained access, combined with the absence of substantive evidence that the access has caused highway safety harm, outweighs the conflict with development plan parking and highway safety policies.
Plan policies cited: DM9, DM10
