Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would have an unacceptable impact on highway safety

What decided it

The widened drop kerb would improve junction visibility and reduce vehicle manoeuvres, thereby enhancing highway safety relative to the current parking demands at the property, outweighing the Council's standard Vehicle Crossover policy width restriction.
