Core Refusal Reason
The proposed 9-meter entrance is considered excessive for the site's current use, lacks sufficient information regarding its purpose, and poses traffic and pedestrian safety risks.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The 9-meter gateway is disproportionate to the current undeveloped state of the land and would negatively affect the area's visual character.
- The design fails to provide for pedestrian safety and the excessive width creates a significant traffic hazard.
- The applicant failed to provide adequate information regarding the intended use of the access, preventing a full assessment of its potential impacts.
