- The proposed development would result in the intensification of an existing vehicular access onto a busy public road.
- The public road at the site location is poorly aligned, leading to restricted sightlines in both directions for emerging traffic.
- The additional traffic generated by the dwelling would endanger public safety by creating a significant traffic hazard.
