Core Refusal Reason
Traffic hazard due to substandard vehicular access and restricted sightlines.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The existing vehicular access is poorly aligned and suffers from severely restricted sightlines.
- The proposed change of use would lead to an intensification of traffic at an inadequate entrance point.
- The lack of proposed upgrades to the entrance on the local public road would endanger public safety and create a traffic hazard.
