Why it was refused

  1. The proposal lacks onsite turning and would result in motorists reversing directly onto or off Wimborne Road, which is a busy classified road, on a bus route, with a dedicated cycle lane and which would impact on the flow of traffic, including sustainable modes of transport and increases highway safety risks. The proposal also results in an unnecessary vehicle access onto a busy classified road, as the site already has the potential to create a vehicle access to the rear of the site where car parking provision can be provided. As a result the proposal will increase highway safety dangers, will impact on the flow of traffic, including sustainable modes of transport and does not meet the aims of delivering safe and sustainable development. The proposal is therefore contrary to Local Plan Policies PP27, PP34 and PP35 and the BCP Parking Standards SPD.
  2. The proposal fails to demonstrate that satisfactory visibility can be provided for and controlled at the proposed access. Use of the new access would be likely to cause additional danger to road users on a busy classified road. The proposal is therefore contrary to Local Plan Policies PP27, PP34 and PP35 and the BCP Parking Standards SPD.
  3. The proposed access lacks adequate pedestrian visibility and its use would be likely to cause additional danger to pedestrians. As a result, the proposal will increase pedestrian safety dangers and does not meet the aims of delivering safe and sustainable development. The proposal is therefore contrary to Local Plan Policies PP27 and PP35 and the BCP Parking Standards SPD.
