The proposal is to construct a new dwelling on a vacant plot within a housing development. There is an existing field gate providing access to the site from Ballgorry Drive. Ballagorry Drive is a culdesac with a 5.5m road width and footways on both sides from the A2 until the turning head; the application site takes access from the turning head. The access will have adequate visibility of approaching vehicles and also emerging vehicles from each of the accesses sharing the turning head.

Note 2 on Penketh Millar drawing no 16 1185 1 states that 2 parking spaces will be provided along with manouevring space to enable vehicles to enter and leave in forward gear.
