Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the time trigger for conditions 30 and 31 is necessary and reasonable in the interests of highway safety

What decided it

The lack of compelling technical evidence demonstrating that the temporary 2-way junction arrangement without traffic calming measures would not adversely impact highway safety during the potentially lengthy period before the approved access and Traffic Management Scheme were implemented.

Plan policies cited: Policy T1 of the Warwick District Local Plan 2011-2029

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.
- Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
- Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
- Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
- Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
