In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the Department of Infrastructure does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:

**Name:** Mr Malcolm Colburn

### Reason(S) For Refusal:

1. The proposed access would not give the required visibility in a northern direction when exiting the site. Accordingly, the proposal would result in a significant adverse impact upon highway safety to the detriment of the pedestrian and vehicular users.

This decision was made by the Senior Planning Officer in accordance with the authority delegated to her under Article 3(13) of the Town and Country (Development Procedure) Order 2005.
