Core Refusal Reason
The proposal fails to demonstrate safe sightlines and adequate on-site turning space, while also maintaining an unauthorized roadside boundary fence that contravenes a condition of a previous planning grant (18/777).
Decision Maker's Conclusion
- The proposed entrance does not provide sufficient space for vehicles to turn within the site, which would necessitate hazardous reversing maneuvers onto the public road.
- The existing 1.8m high timber roadside boundary fence is in breach of Condition 3(a) of planning permission 18/777, which mandated a maximum height of 1.2m and specific landscaping to protect the character of the area.
- The application lacks critical technical information, including a revised site layout showing DMURS-compliant sightlines and a site location map clearly defining the applicant's land ownership.
