Approval in Principle to demolish existing stone shell of farm house and replace with 3 bedroom dormer bungalow for permanent residential/holiday...

Refusal Reasons

• ✗The Planning Committee is not satisfied that the development could be provided with an access onto the St. Mark's Road which would offer safe levels of visibility to drivers of vehicles emerging from the site. Whilst the drawings show visibility to the north of 95m, this is to the western side of the road whereas traffic approaching the site from the north would be approaching on the other side of the road and would not be seen until much closer to the site (closer than 57m).
• ✗The proposed development would be served by a new Biodisc system. However there is no indication of where this system would discharge into and there would not appear to be a suitable watercourse within easy access of the site. As the land surrounding the site is designated for residential development it is unlikely that land around the site could be satisfactorily used for soakaways or dispersal of the discharge from the new system. (Note: This was later addressed at review.)
