Core Refusal Reason
The primary reason for refusal is the lack of adequate road infrastructure serving the site and the applicant's inability to demonstrate control over the lands required to provide a safe and satisfactory means of access.
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- There is a significant deficit in the existing road infrastructure directly serving the subject site.
- The necessary construction and augmentation works required to facilitate appropriate access are located outside the planning unit and are not within the remit or control of the applicant.
- Granting permission would constitute disorderly and haphazard development that would endanger public safety by reason of a traffic hazard or obstruction to other road users.
