| Conditions / Reason for Refusal: |
01
The proposed scheme if implemented will result in both an intensification of the site and provide insufficient off street car parking / manoeuvring facilities such that additional on street car parking in Byford Road and Rotherham Road will occur to the detriment of the free and safe flow of other traffic. The proposed car parking facilities will not discourage the obstruction of footways and the additional on street car parking will compromise the operation of the highway, contrary to Policy SP56 ‘Car Parking Layout.’
02
The private drive used to access the site is considered to be unsuitable to cater for the additional vehicular traffic likely to be generated by virtue of the substandard width and restricted visibility at the junction with Byford Road where drivers would potentially have to undertake reversing manoeuvres back into the junction to the detriment of both road and pedestrian safety.
03
The property is considered to be unsuitable for vulnerable young children due to its location in an area which is known to have a medium to high crime rate.
Informative
