Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed entrance fails to provide safe access and egress due to its location at a traffic junction and proximity to an uncontrolled pedestrian crossing.
- The development would endanger public safety by creating a traffic hazard.
- Granting permission would set an undesirable precedent for similar developments that are contrary to the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
