Following the dismissals already in the past 12 months of 3 separate appeals, see previous article, a further appeal in Nuneaton and Bedworth for up to 500 dwellings has now (18th September 2024) been dismissed by Inspector Mr Hanna.
In particular the Inspector noted that:
“when tested … in cross-examination, the appellant’s highways witness conceded that the impact on queuing along Eastboro Way was, with the benefit of hindsight, ‘potentially severe’. This concession casts significant doubt over the strength of the appellant’s overall highways case.”
