Core Refusal Reason
The proposal was refused due to traffic safety concerns on a major transport corridor and the potential loss of a mature street tree, particularly as an alternative vehicular access already exists.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The new entrance would create a traffic hazard and obstruct pedestrians and road users on a heavily trafficked road and planned Core Bus Corridor.
- The development would negatively impact or necessitate the removal of a mature street tree, violating the principle that entrances should avoid conflict with existing trees.
- The proposal is considered unjustified and contrary to proper planning as an alternative vehicular access already exists to the side of the property.
