Late items:

 

Consultations:-

 

Final comments have been received from LCC Highways who do not object to the proposal subject to conditions.

 

Appraisal:-

 

The Local Highway Authority Advice is that, in its view, the impacts of the development on highway safety would be acceptable, and when considered cumulatively with other developments, the impacts on the road network would not be severe. Based on the information provided, the development therefore does not conflict with paragraph 109 of the National Planning Policy Framework (2019), subject to the conditions.
