Why was this refused?

highway safety and access visibility
narrow farm lane unsuitable for increased traffic
scale of five tourist units
objections from Highways Division
neighbour traffic and privacy concerns

The proposal involved converting existing farm outbuildings at Middle Kerrowglass Farm into five self-contained tourist units. The site is accessed via a narrow farm lane off Peel Road with limited visibility to the main highway.

Refusal Reasons

✗Whilst the Planning Committee does not object in principle to the conversion of the barns to tourist use, the scale of the proposed tourist use and level of traffic that would be generated by such development would result in an increase in vehicles entering into and exiting from the farm lane. Due to the limited visibility onto the main road and the narrowness of the farm lane, the access is considered to be unsuitable to serve the proposed development, and would be dangerously unsafe.
