Core Refusal Reason
The application was refused due to traffic safety hazards, negative visual impact on a scenic route, and procedural inaccuracies in the development description.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The development creates a traffic hazard and endangers public safety due to restricted sightlines and the location of the gateway/piers.
- The concrete panel fence and piers are visually obtrusive and inappropriate for a site adjacent to a designated scenic route.
- The application is procedurally flawed as the development description and public notices do not accurately reflect the full extent of the works undertaken.
