Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the new front wall and gates have an unacceptable impact on highway safety
What decided it
The combination of the wide entrance providing visibility, the low speed of initial exit across the verge, and the modest level of vehicular movements from a single dwelling meant the proposal did not create an unacceptable highway safety impact despite the reduced visibility from the 1.5 metre wall height.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CP 2
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 115Paragraph 116
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
