Core Refusal Reason
Insufficient capacity and restricted width of the access laneway off Harbour Road to safely accommodate increased vehicular traffic and pedestrian movements.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The access road off Harbour Road lacks the necessary width in both the carriageway and footpath to handle the intensified traffic volume generated by the development.
- The absence of designated vehicle passing points along the narrow laneway or near the junction with Harbour Road creates a significant traffic hazard.
- The proposed development would endanger public safety and obstruct road users, rendering it contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
